Module 4

And here lies a picture I took outside my holiday home in Tuscany.....yeah RIGHT....on my salary!!!!!

Module 4 was exciting, didn't know the complete world that flickr had to offer. Although it is a great site to help store, share and manipulate pictures, it is still limited in the manipulation section. Not sure how much fun the students would have with that component.

The Creative Comments page would be a great resource for children to share, compliment and critique work of other students. Knowing that their work would be subject for review, may inspire some students to let their creative flair out.

Copyright issues are of concern....IF you get caught!!! I am aware of the implications of using images that are copyright protected. As a teacher, my interest in flickr extends more to the opportunity for students themselves to take pictures incoporating their passions, interests and creativity. In this scenario, the issue of copyright would be small.
