For Thing #7 I played around with a couple of the Flickr mashup tools. These included Colrpickr and Spell with Flickr. Both were really cool tools and fairly easy to use. I am posting the picture I made with Spell with Flickr.
Posting this picture was a bit of a challenge, and I had to Google directions separately on how to do it. Apparently other educators have had a similar problem to mine. I simply switched to HTML mode and added the HTML code that was provided on the website.
I think that Flickr and its mashups could definitely be used in the classroom. Students can use them to compile different pictures for a project. They could use a collage feature and put together different pictures of a famous family line or historical event. I could definitely see myself using Flickr mashups in my personal life. Especially Spell with Flickr. I love it and think it is really cute.
I think sharing photos online could be really good, but I also think that it can be risky. We want to share our experiences and what we like with others, but some people can overshare information. I do love seeing what other people post, especially when it is art.
