Flickr Slide Show
Created with Admarket's flickrSLiDR.
I really enjoyed this assignment. I lhave never heard of Flickr before this assignment. I have heard of webshots, but not flickr. This was fun becoming familiar with how to upload pictures, put descriptions with them, and then put them into a slide show. It wasn't that complicated at all, but it does take some practice to get it down.
This would be a really good instructional tool for the classroom. A good assignment would be to have the students research a place, then find pictures that are from that place or show what it looks like. Kind of like what we did. This tool might not be feasible to do with all grade levels, but definitely the upper grades. One concern I would have is if not all the students have access to a computer or only limited access. If that is the case, this assignment would be a bit of a challenge.
Overall, this assignment was fun and I learned another helpful tool. I am learning great new websites to browse and use frequently. Hope you all like the slide show!

These are really beautiful pictures. Thanks for sharing them.
I think that the issues you were having last night with getting content posted to Blogger were the fault of Blogger itself. Something must have been going on on that end, since this post worked just fine.
About the access to the computers... it would be hard to expect the students to be able to complete the assignment at home. But all elementary school have a computer labs and each class has time in there each week. So if you do it over a couple of weeks and keep the pictures of CDs or something I think you could do the project.
