Thing 8

I used the Spell with Flickr mashup. I think that this is good for titling presentations or lesson plans for students. I know that it would catch my attention if a teacher titled a presentation or something of the like with pictures instead of just plain text. It spices things up a bit and makes it just a little bit less boring. Every student has seen countless power point presentations full of boring, plain text. I think this Spell with Flickr program is really neat. Especially because it picks the pictures for you! If you don't like one of the pictures, you can click and it'll change until you see one that you like. Then there is an HTML code for blogs and things like that that you can just simply copy and paste. It was super easy. 

I think that photo sharing is something that can be really fun and useful if used correctly. Some people say that photo sharing is dangerous and that it exposes peoples' personal life a little too much. However, it is the person's choice what he or she decides to post on the internet so if they don't want their personal life exposed then, they should not post the pictures. It can be a great way for families to stay up to date if they live far away. It can also be a great way for parents to see what is going on in the classroom if teachers take pictures. However, the teacher should not post pictures of the students without the parent's permission of course.
