Thing 3
FLICKR is a website used primarily for storing and sharing photos. You can use this site to download pictures you’ve taken and then you can share them with your family your friends or the whole world. A fun part of Flickr is Big Huge Labs – a site for playing with images.
Thing 3 Part 1
1. Go to Flickr and take the tour.
2. At the end of the tour choose Sign Up Now. If you already have a Yahoo email account just sign in. If you don't you will need to create one.
3. Explore the site for images you like.
4. When you find an image you like you can "Add to favorites". Do this with a few images. You may use thes images later with Big Huge Labs.
Thing 3 Part 2
1. Explore Big Huge Labs and learn about this popular image hosting site.
2. Create ONE project using any of the Flickr Toys in Big Huge Labs. You may create a presentation for a class or something just for fun.
3. Choose an image from your own files or Flickr. If you "favorited" any images earlier you can use those or ones you have added yourself.
4. To use Flickr you will have to "link your Flickr account" and authorize Big Huge Labs to use your Flickr images.
5. Create your project (make sure you click "Add credit to image") and save it in your H drive (under your student #)
Thing 3 Post (title it Week 2 Thing #3)
1. Write on your blog about what you learned in the Flickr tutorial and about ways that you can use Flickr to post pictures for your family. Discuss how you would choose which pictures you might keep private and which ones you might want to post so others could see them.
2. Paste the URL link to one of the images you "favorited" on Flickr. Why did you choose it? What do you like about it? What does it remind you of? (Example http://www.flickr.com/photos/33311000@N00/2716152460/)
3. Attach your Big Huge Labs project as an image to the post you make this week.

sarah, hi! =)
ReplyDeletei saw on your joyce valenza webinar wiki page -- http://joycevalenzawebinar.wikispaces.com/Bosler,+Sarah -- that you've got your TAs blogging, and i wanted to tell you the idea totally intrigued me.
they're blogs are awesome so far! =D
i'm totally tempted to try that with my own TAs, but not right now.
i have twice as many as you do, and with 15, definitely you've got lots! but let me tell you, with 33 it's even crazier! take a look! =D http://bhltas.pbworks.com/
i would have posted my praise of your awesome idea as a comment on the wiki, but you don't seem to be able to leave comments. oh well. i'm letting you know here. =)
anyway, kudos on the good work, thanks for the great idea, and big smiles from your friend and colleague up north. =)
