I decided to use the snow storm as an opportunity to take some pictures. This is my first experience with a photo sharing site. As I explored Flickr, I found it very easy to maneuver. The steps for uploading were simple and concise and I would definitely use it in the future for my own personal photos. As far as the public vs. private aspect, I am a fan of both. I think if the pictures are something personal, then private is the way to go. For my pictures in this project, I feel comfortable with the fact that anyone can view them. Maybe they'll even bring a smile to somebody's face. In the classroom, Flickr could be great asset for both myself and my students. When doing lessons, I could refer to a photo or image from the Flickr. When doing group projects, I could document the students progress with photos (with the parents' permission of course). On Flickr, you can create groups where photos are only available to members. This would allow parents a glimpse into what their students are accomplishing on a day-to-day basis. I think there are many opportunities to use this website in a positive way, both at home and in the classroom.

Hi Cassidy! I really liked your blog about flickr, I love that website and once you get on it and play around with it, it is easy to figure out and very helpful to use when trying to show pictures while teaching! I think I will be using Flickr alot in my near teaching future! --Kara Plunkett
