Thing 12
I am excited about Flickr photo sharing! I have never heard of it...I will use it for personal and professional sharing. In the classroom students will be able to access their photos on their personal blogs and share....or I can upload class photos of "what's happening" in the classroom to my blog. The pitfalls would be that it is not private and you would need parent permission to use photos. Also, students may not want their photos on a blog because they are camera shy. I think it is excellent for projects (Geography/Science)...and opens up greater opportunity to find images for students to use in creating slideshows, I-movies...etc.

I've always found it ironic that parents are so worried about an anonymous photo of their child being posted on a school website, yet have no problem with newspaper photos that reveal a child's name, school, city... and these are also posted on the newspaper's website!!!
ReplyDeleteBut you're right, I would definitely seek a parent's approval for any photos posted online, even if a student's name is not revealed. Better to be safe than sorry~!
