Thing 7



My photograph of my cousin's roping horse. 
Think of ways you may be able to use Flickr in the classroom or in your work and share your ideas. What issues might you face?


Copyright issues are always an issue with using online images. Also, using the images of minors is something that I do not feel comfortable with without specific written consent. On the other hand, students are often very proud and therefor possibly motivated by the potential of their picture being featured on a website. Earlier we discussed a classroom project where the winner of a tessellation design project would have their design painted on the ceiling of our classroom. Having this design featured on website would be an additional motivator.

  1. You can search under "Creative Commons" for copy write-free material. Also, as educators, we are given a lot of leeway with regard to what we can use for educational purposes. Flickr also has settings to post pictures privately, if you choose.
