This week, while checking out flicker, I came across this cool picture. I am currently living in Washington DC and get to see this all the time. I thought the Kansans reading my blog might like to see it!
I love to be able to share my pictures with friends and family online. Generally, I use facebook to do this. I have tried to use Flickr in the past, but for some reason, I don't find it very user friendly. Maybe it just isn't set up the way my brain works. I do love the option of being able to search other people's photos. I use this for school a lot when I am doing powerpoint. Being able to pull high quality photographs easily is defiantly a plus to Flickr. The keyword search is very good and always provides pictures that work for my purpose. It also always cites where you are getting it from, so I can feel good about sharing them.
I also use shutterfly a lot. On shutterfly, users can create photo books that you can order for pretty reasonable prices. I have never used this with students, but we could use it to publish our writing and photographs. They would be really motivated by that!
I also use Shutterfly. I just got an order in the mail from them today:) I have a family share site and it is so user friendly. Thanks for the idea about using Flickr photos in presentations!
ReplyDeleteLauren,
ReplyDeleteI didnt realize for some reason you lived in Washington DC. I truley enjoy pics from different places. Thank you.
How did you go about taking a class at PItt State?
My husband and I moved here two years ago when he started law school. We both grew up in Olathe and went to K-State. I taught in Shawnee Mission for two years. I wanted to get my library degree and I knew that we wanted to move home sometime soon. We'll see what happens! Pitt state just felt like a good fit because I can get licensed in Kansas :)
