So now I've been introduced to Flick'r, photos will never be the same again! Now I know how they re-touch all those photos in magazines and I must say it's a lot of fun. Just being able to crop, change the tone, and sharpen the image is fantastic. It is very easy to add photos.
However.....it's another web address, another subscription or two, another password to remember, another place that keeps info on me. I feel like I'm filling up my mind and my computer - there are so many access paths to remember! (without having them written down which would be a security issue.) Also just the fact that photos can be so manipulated and accessed makes me even more aware of the legalities of using the internet, worries about hackers, copyright etc.
On the positive side, it's great to know about these sites and what they can do. In the classroom - I'm often on the lookout for photos myself, and the children in my class could access a photo and put it in a document and even crop it or use one or two other features.
