Numeros seis, siete y ocho

I have heard about Flickr for a while now, but this was my first time actually investigating the site. There are tons of things you can do on it. Not only can you upload your own pictures, but you can search other images with different tags. As a teacher, I could download these images and use them in my lessons at school. Flickr provides a current selection of pictures and a WIDE variety of pictures to choose from. As a Spanish teacher, I searched for pictures of different countries and I loved what I saw. I will definately use this sources as I am planning upcoming lessons. Depending on the filters, I could also see the students using this to search for images. I think they would find this interesting.

I also liked how you could automatically print photos from Flickr and even create photo books. This site povides access to all the things I love to do with pictures. It is like one stop shopping. Taking it a step further, I played with the different image generators and had a lot of fun. I created a jigsaw puzzle of some ice caves in Wisconsin. I could see that being a lot of fun for us too!! Uploading the pictures was easy, but learning to navigate all the links from Flickr will take a while to get used to. I tried to post my jigsaw puzzle and it didn't work. I did get my memory game to come up though, so I guess I just need time to learn how to make it work.
