I am confident that those of you who read my last post will not be surprised in the least to learn that this exercise was my first foray into the world of Flickr. Prior to this assignment I was completely unaware of the sites existence. I decided to start by creating my own free account even though it is not mandatory to utilize the site. Setup was a very simple and quick process because I selected to sign-up using my existing Gmail account. My attention was immediately grabbed by some of the photos featured on the site’s homepage After. familiarizing myself with the site’s many different features I uploaded my own photo. I chose to share one of my dog Rio sleeping with butterfly on his back. I think it is a cute image and I felt comfortable sharing it in a public venue. I added the following tags to the photo; apsu23things, dog, pit bull, butterfly, and Rio. Prior to this experience the only site where I have posted photos was Facebook. I have mixed feelings towards my Flickr experience. I found the site easy to search and a wide Variety of photos. However, I had some difficulty uploading my own. I am hoping that with additional experience I will be able to navigate the process more smoothly. I absolutely can see an application for this product in the classroom. Teachers and students would be able to search for and share relevant photos pertaining to lessons.
