  1. Find a picture for each idea (including the title screen)
    • Make sure you use – search tools – usage rights – labelled for non-commercial use
    • Search using more that one word to find the pictures you need
    • Save in your folder
  2. Now work through the stages of PhotoStory
    • Add your title to the first picture and your question on each of the pictures
    • You could  write your sentences in the record screen

Y6 What happens to my accounts when I leave?

Please can you fill out this form?

j2e accounts will be disabled and Google accounts removed when you leave at the end of term.  So what do you do if you want to save some of your work to keep?

j2e

  1. Set up a new j2e account – you will need to do this at home (with your parents’ permission.)
    1. Copy (but not delete) any work from one account to the other;
    2. Upload work from your network folder to j2e

You must not delete any files from your folder or j2e – we need to keep your work as examples.

Google

I will leave your accounts alive until the end of the holidays.  That gives you time to set up your own google accounts (with parents’ knowledge and permission) and transfer files.

 

Important Note:

Please do not use any photos, files etc on social media or share them with others.
