I had a lot of fun playing with Flickr this week and creating the badge on the right. We just celebrated my nephew William's third birthday, and I took a lot of pictures. Here is a link to the birthday photo set!
I thought some of the ideas in the book (for using Flickr in the classroom) were interesting. I liked the idea of creating a story based on a random photo. I was also very interested in the ideas of the math teacher. When I have some extra time (ha ha), I want to explore his blog. I would have never really thought about using photos as inspiration for math problems! I have always taken a lot of photos during the school year, but now I am thinking about different ways to USE those photos rather than just hanging them up on a bulletin board in the classroom.
Since we started this program, I have been reading a few blogs. I had heard about RSS earlier in the program but never really explored it. Now that I had to do it this week (for the assignment), I am glad I did. I think it will save a lot of time! I have also found a few more interesting blogs to add to my list. I set up both Google Reader and Bloglines, but I think I will eventually just end up using Bloglines. I like it better because it seems easier to use, at least right now.

I too liked the ideas of using flicker in the classroom. I loved the idea of creating a story based upon a picture. I have always used the same picture off of an overhead and get pretty much the same stories every year. Hopefully I will be able to do that soon!
