Tools to share photos and movies of life events have never been as accessible as they are today. Pull out your digital camera, smartphone, tablet or Ipad and get ready to share great memories of your grandchildren. In this series we will guide grandparents through 6 popular digital tools for sharing photos with family.
At times the new options can seem daunting, but retreating from the challenge is not the grandparently way. Active and engaged grandmas and grandpas have proven their adaptability already. They are tech-capable having triumphed in the transition from manual typewriters to computers, rotary dial to cellular phones, and cassettes and 8-track tapes to mp3s and digital downloads.
Reviews in the series will include:
- Shutterfly
- Photobucket
- Google+
- Flickr
- Picasa
Good times ahead
Smart phones with their cameras and mobile apps have made it easier than ever to stay in touch with your grandchildren. Sharing is a two way street. Grandparents taking a grandchild on an outing can send image to parents just as easily as parents can post updates to grandparents. Grandchildren themselves get directly into the action when they get permission to access a smart phone, tablet or other internet enabled device.
Get ready to get your selfie on!
