I had previously set up a Flickr account which I use to share photos with family and friends around the world. Its great when on vacation as I can send photos before we get home.
It was interesting setting up the blog connection.
I found it difficult to locate photos that actually had the "bog this" icon at the top of the picture.
I found some beautiful photos of Sydney but I could only tag them as favourites.
Is there an easier way to find photos that are available to add to a blog?
The Picture Australia website is a very useful site for school. I searched for Eddie Mabo and found a varied collection of archival photos. I'd like to add this web site to our catalogue. The media release provides added information.
Voice Thread is useful to get a group of students to add comments on a specific image.
I had students add their comments about a specific book they have read/heard based on an image of the book's cover.
This sounds really good! Unfortunately copyright can make sourcing images difficult, the only thing I can suggest is looking at the Creative Commons licensing website. They often have a lot of image links from Flickr that you can use. Good work:)
