Blurring faces of pupils in website photos - software & apps?

[Paul V de lacy]

Hi,

The parents of a child in my class have requested no identifiable images of their child should appear on the school website.  They are happy with me to blur the child's face.

Could the list please suggest free or cheap downloadable software for the my Teacher laptop and for my Samsung smartphone so that I can easily edit photos taken with both the school camera and my phone-camera.

I feel it is better to leave the child in the photos rather than singling the child out where possible.

Thanks and regards

Paul

Hi Paul,

I find Voila on Mac works well....

Good Practice, in the UK...as far as I'm aware,  recommends not using personal phones for photographing children.

Hope you find voila idea useful

Mary

Picasa does a good job.

Aside from the NCTE (in my opinion, inappropriately) plugging Apple......




....there are a lot of issue to solve before eTextbooks are constructively integrated into classrooms:

Peter,

I just saw this now, and yes I agree the post is inappropriate. This was issued in error and we apologise. 

NCTE takes an independent stance regarding companies. We will seek to have the post removed asap.

 

regards

Tom (NCTE)

In fairness NCTE have been platform agnostic down through the years, so that was, in my experience, out of character.

Down through the years, when working on ICT courses etc. – good efforts always made to provide open/free software exemplars and alternatives on other platforms etc…

 

 

Kindest Regards,

Seaghan Moriarty.

I don't see the harm in the NCTE highlighting new offerings that may
be of interest to educators. I don't see it as promotion, but
information.

Tom,

Or alternatively plug other e-resources (can I own that term?!)

Thanks Tom.
Peter

[Peter Lydon]

Me neither but it should (if it was to go this route) strip out the trader's
puff so that the line between promotion and information is clear.
