Flickr - Module 4- The Bingle Bungle!

So now we all know what happened to poor Lara Bingle....she needn't have employed Max Fevola to scout out women's mags to download THAT photo...she should have saved herself the hassle and the agent's fee (obviously recouped in story cash for splash) and just downloaded it herself in a public photostream like flickr.
I must say though if you weren't inclined to play around with the application and wade through the FAQ's then do employ an agent-or send a message to your friendly helpdesk- it might just save the hour or three to link it to your blog!
The application may have some uses for linking photos to school's websites to show the interested community facets of school life they they may not ordinarily see or be able to attend first hand. It could be used to showcase a range of activities from sporting, to performing arts, to the progress on new building projects.
Would I use it in the classroom personally? - I don't think so- however I think the students themselves would enjoy sharing their photos and adding them to their own blogs or journals which would generate interest. Additionally, photos diaries would be good to view progress over time.
In regards to copyright, I suggest if you don't want it in a public forum then simply don't post it!

  1. Don't forget Jane that as part of the course requirement you need to have a reflection of somebody else's blog and include your learnings from reading this person's post within your own post. Keep those images being incorporated into your blog. You're going well Jane. Thanks
