Flickr and photosharing can be pretty confusing. This picture is of my classroom of course (I chose the one where it is actually clean). I plan on using a blog by the second semester and using images and sites such as flicker allow me to expand my teaching. I have said time and again that social studies can only benefit from using images. Students need to see real artifacts in order to see the relevancy in our subject. I may use flickr as a personal tool so that my family can see what I am doing. I even like the video options. I recently purchased a smart phone that allows me to do multiple things like videos, blogging, picture sharing (beyond texting), and browse the internet. The only reservation I have is the public aspect. I will of course watch what I post online, but everything you put online can be accessed somehow.
