Flickr is like facebook, except you are just using it to upload your photos. It's an online photo organisation where anyone can have an account to access to the photos on Flickr. However, you have the option to allow who sees the photos that is uploaded on your photo organisation account. You have the option for your photos to be private where only a percentage of people see it or you allow everyone to see the photos that is uploaded. It would be great for parents to download photos to see what their child has been learning in the classroom or have participated in an extra curriculum activity in the school.It's also another option to make newsletter of the class about what they have been learning or a good way to do an assignment where they are able to take photos and learn how to change the photos to make it suitable for their assignment.

Flickr, like many websites, you have the option to add an caption that tells the story of the photo. The photo itself, may tell a story but it's not as good as the person who owns the photo can be the storyteller of that particular photo. I notice on Flickr there is another tool you can use to display the photos which is a great tool for displaying it in the classroom for the students. Instead of using powerpoint which is very time wasting, you can use Flickr to create a slideshow for your photos.

As may have you noticed, the bottom photo is purple. I used the Mobaphoto software where you can change the photos as you wish, colour or size!. I thought I have a go and see what the outcome of few photos I played with and it was interesting although it's something that I wouldn't recommend for all photos to be played with, to be a little creative!

Picnik was a lot of fun! It's a great way to be creative with your photo by adding different things to the original photo. It's like scrapbooking or doing a photo collage which would be great for an assignment! Once finished with the creation of the photo, you have the option to place your photo onto another website, again as your wish for people you like them to see the photo. Great for learning in the classroom, seeing before and after photos.
