I did my best with Flickr and created a slideshow of my kids. I guess I did this right. I also signed up for my own LTC (library trading card). I can't say I really like Flickr. I think it is too complicated and I prefer simple and down and dirty like Animoto which I use as part of an audience exercise for my Public Speaking Class. I have the students pick images, words, product shots, and music that go with selling a product to a specific audience. My high school students love this application and use it for other classes.
Thanks to Michelle for turning me onto Shutterfly. I like it so much better than Flickr. I created a poster combining FACEinHOLE, one of my favorite mashup sites and Shutterfly's poster creator. I am definitely going to use this for my public speaking sales speech.
I think Flikr is kind of like Facebook and SnapFish combined. I liked that it lets you make things that combine two or more sites. The only draw back is how "out there" students could be. Teachers would need to remind them not to give out or post things that they wouldn't want the world to see.
ReplyDeleteIvy, I have to agree with regarding the flickr interface. It seems unnecessarily complicated to me, too. I have an acct., but now prefer to use Shutterfly for photo sharing.
ReplyDeleteI am going to have to check out Animoto. It sounds like fun to use with students!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Michelle, Shutterfly has always been my go-to for photo sharing as well. Flickr does not seem the most user friendly. Btw, I love your librarian trading card! It's awesome!
ReplyDeleteit's great having several options for different functions -- you can share your comparisons with students as an eval activity
