Oh, this was fun! I can see so many fun ways to use this in the classroom! Getting to know people, creating your own game...across all subject areas! I can't wait to share this with my staff (sometime after this week when report cards are due!)

Thing 5: Even More Flickr Fun
This would be fun to use with student photos to create report covers or classroom newsletters or yearbooks. Library promo pieces would also be a good use for this.
Thing 5: More Flickr Fun
Dariya and I attended the Harry Potter midnight release party for book 7. She was Luna Lovegood and I'm Mrs. Weasley.
Making a photo into a jigsaw puzzle was SUPER EASY! I have used puzzles with Kindergarten to teach mouse skills - now I will try making my own puzzles (not of students) and putting them on our school website to avoid all the ads that I have found on the puzzle sites. Except that I just noticed that I can't actually move the pieces around. Anyone know how to make the pieces move or a different program to make moveable pieces?
Flickr photo
Here we are/were!
Interesting that the photo did not load from the web address on the Flickr page when I tried to upload the photo while in Blogger. I did really like the Blog This feature in Flickr. It was very easy to set up and use.
Thing 4: Flickr
Several co-workers (OK, two) are heading to Cancun for Spring Break in a few weeks, so I am reliving our time there last year.
Flickr was VERY easy to use to upload pictures and tag/describe them. I have never used a photo hosting service other than the Kodak gallery at target.com to upload photos for printing. As for the public aspect of this, I was a little concerned about putting pictures of my daughter on the web and I did choose not to add a photo of me with a certain type of Mexican beverage because of all the publicity of teachers and their photos affecting their jobs.
I loved how the St. Ben/John's library's used Flickr with their bookshelf. That would be fun to do!
