Thing 7

Thing 7:
If you were teaching technology you could use this site like 23 things is using it.
Flickr could be used in the classroom by having students assigned to document a topic using pictures. With the new on line requirements students could use flickr to store their pictures as they go.Teachers could monitor the students work as well.
Teachers/school district/ yearboo classes/School organizations could use this to post pictures of activities and events. We have a school website and links to Flickr pictures could be posted on the schools site.

You could post a picture of the week and ask student to post a comment each week giving them credit for their posts.
You could assign students to create an autobiography with pictures and have each student post on each others pictures.

The problems faced here would be the same problems I feel we will face through most of these 23 things. Not every one has a computer with internet access. Control over content of picture, comment posted and search results when searching the site would all be an issue. Sometimes filters on school computers and Acceptable use policies that forbid downloading from the internet.

I love photography so this was one of my favorite things. I framed my pictures on a site called http://www.picnik.com/app#/home/welcome. I enjoyed looking at other peoples photos. Hope you enjoy mine.
