Using Flickr in the classroom!

Flickr is an amazing way to find pictures and to share them with other people. It would be a good resource in the classroom. It could be used to find a variety of pictures for projects or to show pictures for presentations. I like the idea of using Flickr compared to just searching on Google images because it narrows the search down and only gives you pictures of what you are looking for. Overall I think Flickr is very useful!

Social Networking

Social networking is used by many different people for many different reasons. I personally use a social network called Facebook. Facebook can be used by anyone who has assess to the internet and it is free to set up an account. There are many different applications on Facebook. One that would be useful in the classroom or a school are the groups. A teacher could set up a group and post assignments and activities on it. If a student is gone on an activity day, they can assess the activity on Facebook. The groups can also be used as a means of communication between a teacher and their students.
