• Well! This was experiential learning at it finest!! I started with uploading a ton of pictures from a recent camping trip. I then decided, rather than to bore everyone with a million and 1 pictures of my granddaughters, I would delete those and upload more scenic pictures from a trip to Lake Powell. I did not realize that when you delete pictures they still count in your “allocated space” for our free accounts – and after uploading one scenic shot I was out of room. SO!! I proceeded to create a different account [oh boy! I used a different username/logon and pray that I don’t forget that one] and then uploaded my five scenic shots. It was a very straightforward process – I just didn’t realize we were limited.
• Students could easily use this for their projects if they were only able to access it at school. There are so many times that teachers require pictures to be included in their projects. This would eliminate them having to bring the photos on a disc, thumb drive or emailing them to themselves. I love this tool! We have to protect our students so my main concern would be that they may access content that is inappropriate. They address this very well in their Community Guidelines but it seems there is always someone that doesn’t play by the rules.
• I will definitely use Flickr in my personal life. I may have to upgrade, though, as I am heavy with the finger on the camera button. My theory there is too much is way better than little or no photos!! [grandkids comprise 90% of them!!]
