I had a lot of fun with this one! There are so many neat applications and tools on Flickr and other sites. All of the mashups and 3rd Party Tools I used and/or explored were very easy to use. Each site had clear instructions on how to upload your photos or create your own images. There were some really neat sites I didn't even know existed. There seems to be just about any application on 2.0 sites such as Flickr you could ever need! I especially enjoyed the "Spell with Flickr" and "Puzzles" applications. I could definitely see myself using some of these applications in my future classroom. The "Flickr Color Pictr" mashup allows you to pick from basically any color you want and it will find tons of pictures that are primarily the color you chose. This would be great for children learning their colors. You could also upload (with parent permission) pictures of the class throughout the year to put on newsletters and such. That seems to be something kids would really enjoy. I would highly recommend any of these sites for use in the classroom or just in personal lives. If I continue blogging after this class, I will definitely use some of these sites to upload pictures and post them. I have no problems with sharing photos online. I, myself, have a Facebook account and upload pictures to it. I think it's a great way to share with others your experiences. This was by far my favorite "thing!"
