=Fun with Flick r!!! = = = = = = Flick r = = = **is an image hosting and video hosting website, web services suite, and online community created by Ludicorp and later acquired by Yahoo. In addition to being a popular website for users to share and embed personal photographs, the service is widely used by bloggers to host images that they embed in blogs and social media.**


 * When I think about how visual our learners are (not all, but most) what a great resource to pull pictures from, and also to share photos with other people/classes around the county, state, country, and world! We have talked numerous times about access issues, this site requires you to create a Yahoo email address, as it is powered by Yahoo. This was the one thing I didn't like, as I do not need another email address. :) It would be great if each child could have their own account, but having a class account would be just as useful and probably more appropriate for the younger kids. If the teacher sets up the account, then the teacher can manage privacy setting and limit misuse. In the tutorial below you will learn all about what Flickr has to offer. Enjoy!**
