Shutterfly looking to buy Kodak Gallery

 

I just wrote about Kodak Gallery (online photo service that allows you to upload, share, and view your photos from anywhere) and now it looks like they are going to be bought out by Shutterfly. Kodak Gallery had just announced their mobile apps too.

Shutterfly is an online photo service and social sharing network that allows unlimited images at no cost and at full resolution. Photo Books are their flagship product, which allows people to create photo books with covers, templates and designs.

The sale is not final, so we'll see what happens.


On a side note, Kodak Gallery is accessible from school, Shutterfly is blocked as a "shopping site." Thank goodness for 3G on my Chromebook so I could check out Shutterfly.

Two Free Graphic creation and editing software

There are two free programs that I think are great for editing and creating graphics.

The first is paint.net. This software was originally created as a school project and is now continually being modified and improved. It is a great tool for editing photos and graphics. I found it to be very polished and powerful. There are tutorials, a user forum, and a great help section available also. I use this for editing graphics for school projects and for this blog. 

Tuxpaint is a great drawing program, especially for the lower grades. It is easy to use and has a lot of built in functions.

I use paint.net to edit photos and graphics that I then use in my classroom. I've used Tux Paint to create some simple graphics for my lessons.
