Thing 7 - Using FLICKR

It is easy enough to use Flickr. The uploading was slow and I am uncomfortable with everyone being able to see pics. I know you can use the friend only features. I could see setting up an account solely for school use. I could post pictures of lab setups for students to see before they enter the lab. This may actually be easier than creating a podcast because they would be able to read the description of the equipment below the post. It also might be a good first hw activity for students to have to find pics of lab equipment withing the Flickr account. A quick sketch of the lab equipment would demonstrate an understanding of what the piece of equipment is.

I still have the feeling the students will just google the information - it may be quicker than using the Flickr search.
