It's not often I'm right, but I'm wrong again... Thing 6,7 and 8

Just when I thought I could simplify my life with Google along comes Flckr and I need a Yahoo account to join. So much for keeping things simple with one email account. I was however able to use the same screen name I use for my other accounts, not a simple task when you have a common name.

Let this be a lesson to all, I keep a spreadsheet with all of my user names and passwords. The spreadsheet is password protected (so others cannot access it) with my first choice password and a backup copy is kept in a secure place.

As for Flckr I uploaded some photos and played for days with the various items. I now have film strips and cubes with photo's of my grandson. I created magazine covers and puzzles. Too much fun!

End of a calm day on Flickr - Photo Sharing! I loved this photo...

In the computer classroom I could see this as a tool for showing students how to be creative with their photo's. Lets face it kids love to take pictures, especially of themselves and their friends. This is something they will have fun doing for family and friends.

I could see this used in other classrooms as well. They could create photos of themselves in places around the world, or in historical settings, or how about creating characters for a graphic novel. Yes this would all take time, something we don't have a lot of in school, but maybe a combined project between a core class and computer class??
