Thing#7

As you can see, I went with option 2 when it comes to learning about Flickr.  This photo was taken of my son Cole when he was the cowardly Lion in the musical "Wizard of Oz" performed by Poteet High School and directed by Sarah Morgan.

I definitely am going to start using Flickr to back up all my photos.  I have been putting them on a picture cd, but it may be more organized to keep them on the web.  Also, pictures can take up quite a bit of memory so it would be another way to have a copy of your pictures and free up some memory.  Also, in my class we scan pictures and use them on an imovie.  I could teach my class how to use Flickr or Photobucket.  It may be blocked by the school district web site though.  Also, you may could find pictures to use for your power points by using the tags with Flickr. I am a little familiar with Photobucket but I haven't used it that much.  I do like it that you can mark your pictures private or to the public.  I am definitely a novice at this and will have to play with it more.  It took me longer than it should have.  I am still a little confused how my picture went to the 23 things site.  Amazing!

I can't wait to look into flickr. This is an exciting program. If it works out, I have some awesome pictures I took at the National Portrait gallery. I could work them into our lessons. What a great idea. Is this one of the 23 things? I can't wait to get that far. I'm only on Thing 4.

Oh my gosh what a great picture of Cole. I didn't know you were teaching ICT until last month. My how we grow and change over time. You are way ahead of me because our internet has been down. I hope to do a lot on this class over the next few days. Between teaching summer school and this class I will be really busy over the next few weeks.
