Thing # 7 - Flickr

 I chose a photos of students creating podcasts. Please notice that I did not use names, and I tried to use pictures of students you could not identify. I also have an ulterior motive. I want teachers to see how easy it is to create a podcasts so they will notify their ETF next year to help create podcasts with their students. We always recommend getting parents permission slips signed at the beginning of the year. I have permission slips for these students.

Flickr is a great tool to use to post pictures, and I found it fairly easy to use. I will use it occasionally to post photos to share with family members and teachers. I do like the fact that you can mark your photos private in Flickr.
However, I prefer my .Mac account to share albums with family members because I am familiar with the program. The down side of .Mac, is you have to be a subscriber. It is not free. It costs around $ 109  a year, but you also get a space to save documents too.

I'm jealous because you are ahead of me in this course, and you seem to be more techno savvy than I. After reading your blog, I am looking forward to learning flickr, which sounds fun and useful both professionally and personally. del.icou.us also sounds very useful to access bookmarks between school and home, which I have been e-mailing to myself.

I don't know anything about a podcast and your comment has made me want to learn. You also make it sound easy. Thanks. I love trying new things in my classroom.
