Thing 7

Flickr is awesome!  The great thing about this assignment is that I am exploring internet sites and tools that I have heard about, but just haven't gotten around to trying out for myself.  I decided to post a picture of a drawing my son did recently.  What a cool way to keep his art and share it with others!  My other "picture posting" is random.  I love reproductions of old tins, so I took a picture of one hanging in my kitchen that is a favorite of mine. 

I will definitely use Flickr for my  personal photos.  Flickr could also be used in the classroom to manage class photos of parties, field trips, activities, etc., since the photos can be marked as private.  I could organize photos to keep and turn in for the school yearbook, or create a classroom end-of-year slide show. 

This was my first time using a photo hosting service.  I think it's neat to share photos that I choose with others, and I like the ability to keep other photos private, as well.  Flickr is easy to use and navigate, and I'll be adding more photos very soon!
