Thing 7

Flickr
I love this pic. I took it at the Ripley's Aquarium in Gatlinburg this summer while on vacation. I love the contrast in colors. As you can see, I am NOT a great photographer but I tried.
Here is another one that I might just make my own personal postcard..also from Gatlinburg (as if you can't tell) right outside our condo.

This is my first Flickr experience. I found it to be moderately easy. The only real problem I ran into was posting the URL of the image itself. I had to right click and "save image location" to get it to work properly and I am still not certain if it will turn out ok when everyone views it.
As of this moment, I don't plan on using Flickr in my classroom unless I can connect it to my music content (which I am sure I can but I working on all of the other current tools available). However, I love it for personal use. The only photo sharing site I have used is the photo option on Facebook. I don't really have a problem with posting pictures on the Internet. I can change the privacy settings if I choose to. I know some people worry about safety but I guess if someone really wants to find me, they will whether my pic is on Flickr or not.
