Thing 7 - Sharing Photos Of Your Own

Flickr is a great site to see other people's pictures, but you or your students may want to upload your own. With a free Flickr account you can upload 100MB of photos each month. Imagine a collection of photos for Civil War study, a frog dissection, or a geometry project.
---------------------------------------------------------------------To complete Thing 7 you must:
A. Sign up for your own Flickr account
B. Upload photos
C. Reflect on Thing 7 on your blog


---------------------------------------------------------------------


A. Create Your Flickr Account
Watch the following video to learn how to create your account. Then go back to Flickr and do it!




B. Upload
Now it's your turn to upload some photos to
Flickr. Here's another video to show you how.




You may want to add the tag LISD23 to at least one of your uploaded photos and mark it public. When you search the tag LISD23, you will see photos that all the 23 Things participants have uploaded. Note: We have learned that you must upload at least five photos before a search for your tags will work.

Here's another good resource for you - Newbie's Guide to Flickr
