#7 (23 Things)

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

For items which are not 'company classified' or of a personal nature, Flickr or Photobucket might be a good way to supply graphic elements for students or peers to work with. These items might include photos, graphs and charts or other materials to be used as a baseline for assignments or reflection and planning.

There is always the issue of privacy, and, of course, that of copyright infringement. Nonetheless, 'fair use' and education are pretty solid on the sharing of images and information.

I don't think there is much cause for alarm unless you start making piles of money with someone elses pictures!

There is another (free) site that I have used to share videos up to 5 min. in length and stills. It is called Jing.

Rather than emailing large files, Jing hosts them for you and you simply send the link! No tedious downloads!

There are many other cool functions to be had, such as captioning and capturing your desktop as you manipulate items, narration, etc.
