Thing #5. More Flickr Fun

While I love the idea of being able to use and credit others' photos so easily, I am nervous about the idea of posting my own online. This is pretty difficult, as I have not yet purchased a digital camera, and I do not have the patience this summer to scan pictures and then upload them to a photo-sharing service like Flickr.
I am approaching Flickr as an educational tool, as with most of the Things that I am learning about. I am not really thinking of them as fun tools for personal use. As you can see, I've found other items for fun and posted them here!

Spell with Flickr:

Thing #4. Photosharing with Flickr

I can definitely see Flickr becoming a valuable resource for finding images to use in my classroom - which I do quite a bit. I thought this image was particularly interesting, and I know I will be using this in my classroom next year. I look forward to filtering through other images in this woman's collections. They can be found at: http://www.flickr.com/people/vieilles_annonces/

I appreciate the convenience of posting directly from Flickr to a blog, something that be much more beneficial when I have my classroom blog set up and want to share photos with my students and their parents.
