  1. “If I can do flickr, then anyone can do it!” Flickr Presentation by Chris Sherbert, Esq. Information by Jason Howell, Linda McAdam Design by Emeka Barclay

  2. What if…

  3. Well, you can with… Flickr!

  4. What is Flickr? • Flickr is an online photo publishing site. • It allows you to post personal pictures and multimedia shows on the web so that they may be viewed by others. • The user creates photos albums that are either private or public. Users can even host discussions on the pictures. • Flickr allows you to create, publish, and view online photo/multimedia showcases WORLD WIDE!!!

  5. Introducing… Flickr! • Flickr.com is blocked for TCBOE computers. • The disclaimer… • As with most other things on the Web, no one can guarantee with absolute certainty the quality or appropriateness of the content on Flickr. • It is free as long as you don’t publish more than 100MB of images a month. • However, if you download a software editing program, then you can easily post 500 images without worry!!

  6. Niagara Falls, NY Let’s say that after a vacation in Niagara Falls, I wanted to share my pictures with a friend in London, A friend in Rome, and a class in Cairo. Instead of emailing each picture to each group, and losing the ownership of the files, I post them to my Flickr account and allow them to view them via the internet.

  7. uploading • Once you activate your account at Flickr, uploading is easy. • Just click the upload link, browse your files, and select the pictures that you wish to upload. • This is rather simple to do because Flickr allows you to upload more than one picture at a time! • After selecting your pictures, complete the upload and start writing captions!!!

  8. So what can you do? • Educational technology teacher David Jacks blogs about ways to use Flickr in the classroom. http://tinyurl.com/38wsm5 • Create presentations and slide shows • Virtual field trips • Illustrate stories, lessons, and poetry • Document school trips • Teach social awareness • Teach geography with Google Earth

  9. annotation • One of the most useful tools • Allows you to add notes to parts of the image simply by dragging a box across an area and typing text into a form. • This allows text to appear as someone drags their mouse across the picture. • Boxes with the annotation appear! http://flickr.com/photos/cogdog/265279980/

  10. annotation? Imagine… Labeling the parts of a flower in science. Teaching the table setting in French. Writing a picture poem in English. Describing the Civil War from the battlefield. Doing the statistics of a population at a concert.

  11. To End… • Flickr is not just a web tool for sharing pictures. • With the right objectives, it can become an inexpensive teaching tool that opens the world to our students. • The ability to share experiences with others outside the usual environment is… PRICELESS!!
