Flickr & Ning & Voicethread

Flickr: What I thought was most interesting about Flickr was the creative common facility
It informs you on how you can or cannot use the photos and images displayed. Symbols besides them help identify use. Attributes, Noncommerial, No Derivative and Share Alike. A database of photos and pictures you can use in your classroom, which you are legally allowed to use.

Ning:I couldn't access inside Ning so I only know this as a social network for people engaging and sharing materials and resources. People who use this site would often participate in discussions about their passions for whatever the topic.

Voicethread Conversational and multimedia task tool, I could see this used in business courses, but because I am a visual, kinaesthetic learner, I really need to play around with these devices better in order to understand and reflect how i could use this in my classroom.

  1. Flickr is great resource for free images to use in the classroom
    Knowing the copyright status is important! and should not be overlooked.

    I also could see this as an useful tool in teaching business subjects
    and I agree that more time to use this and the other tools that are a part of this course would be good to better understand the range of uses that they can be put to.
