Thing #7

Flickr is an ideal tool for any teacher, student, and classroom. Finding free public domain photos to use in presentations is sometimes difficult. I like that fact that photos can be uploaded to the desktop, sent in an email to Flickr and it appears there in seconds and friends and family can be directed there. I hope that our district will help all employees see that this is a better way to send pictures and videos to others. So many employees send photo albums to their friends and co-workers through our district email and never realize that it slows the system down.

I also found it interesting that you can assign tags to your photos that essentially if you have a photo out there, it can be found. With the "misd23things", mary and Debbie could assign 75 tags to this one image, they are good at what they do but I think that even this might be a challenge?

The "23 Thingster group" looks a little questionable, I wonder where that image came from.

Ok, so I came across something called moo cards - my curiousity kicked in and I had to explore exactly what these were. If you really want to know ask me and I will tell you.

I uploaded two pictures onto my blog, a picture of my sweet Lexy and Cricket, see if you can tell who is who.
