Seven things to know about Flickr
Mar 9th, 2008 |
During the November 12:10 lunch and learn, one of the topics we discussed was Flickr, an example of a photo sharing resource on the Web. Educause Learning Initiative (ELI) has a additional resource for you to review to get a better understanding of Flickr and it’s potential for you in the classroom and in your research and personal lives.
Quoting:
Although Flickr is ostensibly for photos, the site might more aptly be described as a venue for sharing experiences and building relationships. The site provides the tools, but the value derives from the contributions of the user community — photos, comments, ratings, and organization — and the connections that the site facilitates between individuals.

I just read the article in DMU Magazine about your 12:10 Conspiracy boot camp, and I thought that is a really great thing that you’re teaching students about the free Internet tools that are available to them. I’ve been using Flickr for almost 3 years now and it’s great - being a Freelance Photographer, I’ve gotten work because of my Flickr page!
My fiancee is a CPMS student, and I’ll be moving to DSM after we get
married this June - I’d love to sit in on one of your boot camps!
