iPhoto Album Sharing
- (850k - pdf)
- Use iPhoto's built-in sharing option to share photos on your network. (Useful for a temporary sharing arrangement for a few users.)
- Sharing Photos on an OSX Intranet
(980k - pdf)
- Use iPhoto to create a web page to share photos on your intranet. Students can access these photos through drag'n'drop from a web browser to their documents or folders.
Galerie- The basic iPhoto web export produces web pages which are, well, very basic! Galerie works in conjunction with iPhoto to produce much slicker on-line photo galleries. (Free).
Great for large numbers of photos.
Be sure to check out the Galerie template collections too!

- In some instances, schools are required to use Firefox (rather than Safari) to access their corporate network.
Unfortunately Firefox does not make use of the Mac OS X settings for Internet access, instead using it's own preferences which are set on a per-user basis.
The notes below describe the process of configuring Firefox preferences for, and distributing them to, mutliple users, either on a local computer, or in an environment using networked Home folders (which is where the Firefox prefs are stored).
Update: The notes below were written for Firefox v1.5.x. The arrangement of the preferences windows in v2.0 has changed, though the settings are still the same. (The proxy settings window is now under Advanced > Network > Settings). New v2.0 info here soon.
FireFox Preferences - Network users
- (449k - pdf)
- Configuring and distributing default FireFox prefs - for network users.
-
- FireFox Preferences - Local users
- (405k - pdf)
- Configuring the default FireFox prefs - for "local" (non-network) users.
For DET schools that have been "transitioned" to the Portal, and have lost access to their school intranet site: - DET FireFox Prefs - School Intranet
- (491k - pdf)
- These notes are for NSW schools who have a local Intranet, but where a DET technician has setup the DET "one-size-fits-all" Firefox prefs, which point every student's default Home page at the DET Portal login window.
These notes describe how to modify and distribute new Firefox prefs that open students (and teachers) home pages at the school Intranet page.
