| Here is a photo that I took of snap peas and basil growing on our windowsill! |
I uploaded this photo to my new flickr account at http://www.flickr.com/photos/59071010@N06/
The account was pretty easy to create-- the process involved following a few easy steps. Afterwards I had no trouble uploading my photos. I had to choose names, descriptions and tags for everything. These descriptors will really keep things organized if I start to fill up my account with photos. I did have a little trouble finding the html code for my picture in order to include it in my blog. I ended up using the photo uploading tool on blogger, which was much easier. I am sure that with a little more exploration I could have figured out how to find the code... but either way I solved the problem and now have a wonderful picture on my post!
Flickr is a great site for hosting photos. I see myself using it in my classroom to either host photos for blogs or simply to organize and share pictures of the classroom. I would love to have a group specifically for my classroom where we could share photos of the the projects we are working on, both in progress and finished. This would be a great tool to both catalogue and present student work.
Flickr is the first experience I have had with a web hosting site. I think it is a great tool and will prove to be very useful in my classroom. I am fine with the photos existing in a public place. I need them to be public in order to use the site for sharing photos of my classroom with parents and the community.
