Week 3

I never realized how many tools Flickr alone has available. There are soooooo many tools that you can't possibly get to them all. I tried a few different tools within Flickr, but every picture I tried kept coming out all fuzzy. I also had issues with the size of the pictures from Flickr. I tried to paste them into Paint and then edit the size, but it didn't work. It would be helpful if it designated the appropriate size of the image before starting the project and tips on how to edit effectively. I finally ended up making a mosaic which actually turned out really great.

The possibilities are endless for a Web 2.0 tool like Flickr. Flickr may be a way to engage reluctant teachers and students to use technology in many different ways.

I thought that the World Geography teachers could use this with their students to collect pictures of a particular area of the country and then put it into some type of project or use mappr to post pictures and then describe each.

I also thought that the Art teachers may be able to use Flickr to discuss the color wheel and shadowing etc. by using the information contained within Flickr.
