Module Four

Today we had some difficulties with our security settings. I will have to investigate another way to allow teachers to access Google Docs and Wetpaint as my filter is not working! So after a little frustration and a slow start we decided to jump to module four - Flickr.

I have previously created a Flickr account and practised uploading photos. It is not a program I use personally to share photos online, but I can certainly see the benefits for people who just wish to share photos and create products with these pictures. It is also a great site to find copyright free photos for personal use or in the classroom.

I thought originally that there was a way to embed your Flickr images onto your blog page, however this doesn't seem to be the case. Instead I think you either have to link to your Flickr Photostream or just load the pictures onto your page. If anyone knows a way to embed the picture please let me know.

I have also used some other great sites which link into Flickr - my favourite being www.bighugelabs.com
You can do all sorts of fun stuff with your photos - check out my billboard! It's a little small so you'll have to click on it!

  4. Thanks Nic for guiding us through this and for the information about the photos. I didn't know how to get into edit to see if I could embed the image. Yesterday the computer was telling me it had completed the process but the photo was not in the blog when I checked.Have a great day :)
