Thing 7

I could not find my camera, but I uploaded a photo that I had saved in my documents. I have a yahoo email, and I never knew it was linked to Flicker. Once I realized that I laughed. This class is really helping me with using really exciting tools. I never heard of FLicker before but was excited to try it.I uploaded a couple of pics and tag them to our "apsu23things." Once I typed the group name I saw other pictures that were also tag to the group. It really is the fastest and easiest way to share photos. I choose this photo because since I moved to Tennessee I do not get to see my family. This picture is of me and my younger sister. She will probably be surprised that I used her for my blog. I will use flicker in the future because I can share things a lot faster with my family in California. Also it would be a great tool for classroom use. As a class we can have our own group, and share pictures so I get to know them. I would not worry about online predators because we can have public or private settings. It can be used for projects, and group presentations. I also can upload pictures that I may not have time to show in class that my students can easily access online. Before I would share my photos through email and instant messaging. I think Flicker is the best one. Email would always take too long and for instant messaging sometime the pictures would not come out right. I will use this today to share new pictures with my sisters because they also have yahoo and I can bet they never heard of flicker.
