Week 6...

This has been my favourite activity so far! How fun is it!? I love taking photos and editing them and have used Picnik previously to do this :-)

Flickr
To me, flickr is another way of networking students and teachers, as you are able to become friends with each other and view their photos. It also has the option of adding blogs to your site thus becoming another good communication tool. In my experience, children enjoy creative activites hence this technology would blossom in classrooms. As you are able to use the images off this site in other sites or projects, students would easily be able to add photos, graphics or images to their assessments, or in a teaching sense used in their educational information.
My flickr site is http://www.flickr.com/photos/s0154484/

Picnik
Picnik is so easy to use and would be a great activity website for students! It would enable active engagement in the lesson as they are creating their own photos and making changes they think are necessary. It would be great to have computers for all students and teach them, step by step, how to use this site while they are actively participating. It would also allow them to modify photos (size etc) or create slide shows of their photos. As so many people have facebook now it is also a great idea that they have linked sites to picnik so you are able to get your photos from anywhere.

Check out my photos!!
