#5 Week 3

I think I've spent hours on the flickr site. First I was attracted by the beautiful and artful photos. I'm sure many of these people are professionals. I opened an account and downloaded a couple of pictures from my computer. (See previous entry). Getting student permission isn't a speedy process so I chose teachers. I especially liked the geo map feature. I looked up pictures for places I will be visiting this summer. I thought it would be useful for students in global studies doing country power points. Of course the student I tried to help with this had chosen Guinea for their country and there were no pictures of it. I'm trying to download some pictures I took this weekend on my iphone to the map site but I'm still working on getting them into flickr. I thought I could go straight from snapfish to flickr but no luck. I can see a use for this site in the school setting. I could spend many more hours on flickr and the other sites you mentioned but I think I better go onto the next thing or I'll never make it through the course.
