Thing 7

Think of ways you may be able to use Flickr in your classroom and share your ideas. What issues might you face?

I can see that in my video production class students could share still images and video clips and upload their finished projects. Students in all classes could gather and share images for research projects and create multi-media presentations with better quality pictures. Documenting school events such as field trips or class activities especially if coupled with a blog would be a great utilization.

There are a lot of ways that Flickr might be used in my classroom ... but I wonder if it's blocked by our district's filter? I'm pretty sure it is. So many great resources fall under that blocked category and I'm finding it frustrating. At this rate it will be another 5 to 10 years before we are anywhere close to utilizing Web 2.0 resources.
