Online Photo Sharing in Plain English
The three online sites mentioned in the video are here: Flickr (connected to Yahoo! accounts), Webshots, and PhotoBucket
Please don't think that these are the only ones available or the best for your needs! I have a Flicker Pro account. The Pro Account has a pricetag of $25 a year. I used the free version until just htis past summer. Now I have the Pro version so that I can upload many more photos in my spare time (yeah right!). I kow that Picasa (free download and phot editor) has Albums and has now added a Web version to store photos online. Another reason I have photos online is to make it easier to share photos. I used to take pictures and then send them to family members as attachments. My parents have dial-up and it would take forever for some of them to download. By sending them to my Flickr account, there is no downloading and they get to see the picture much faster and easier.
If time allows, I will be sharing one of my favorite online photo editing sites called Picnik and one of my favorite image creators called Image Chef. If you have a favorite photo editing or storing site, please share with all of us in the comments section of this post.
Assignment: 1.)Find at least one difference between two of the Photo-sharing sites. Get an account at one (Flickr prefered if you don't have an account). Upload at least 2 photos and then share them with the course instructors.
2.)Blog about how you might use a photo sharing site in your classroom or for a lesson.
