Holy cow! I did that right too!!
So I had to go back and recreate my mosaic, this one came up with different pictures but still on the beach theme. For some reason the mosaic disappeared although the credits remained. I'm hoping this one sticks! I'm going to post it, exit out of my blog and then come back and see if it's still there!.
I think some of the mashups are actually easier to use than Flickr! Maybe that's a user/interface issue more than an actual Flickr issue. Anyway, these mashups could be used in many ways in the classroom. I could create mosaics of different places we've studied in social studies and play a game where the students have to identify the location by the picture. This could be done on the screen in the classroom, on individual computers if they are in the classroom, or on paper since a lot of these mashups let you download your project so you can print it. In my personal life I could make greeting cards to use either online or in print. I could even make large pieces and order the prints in sizes bigger than I can print at home and use them to decorate my house! How cool would that be? Your own photos displayed as actual artwork on your walls. I do have some issues with sharing photos on line, especially photos of my daughter. I guess I'm just afraid of the creepy people out there. I don't mind sharing photos with people I know and if the photos were of places or events that might be interesting to the general public I wouldn't mind sharing them with the whole world. Pictures of just my friends and family though I would rather limit to sharing with only my friends and family. Really, the whole world does not need to see photos of my wedding or my daughter's birthday party.
Your mashups looks good. I started to work on mine on Saturday but did not have enough time to finish. I do agree with you about putting pictures of my boys out for the whole world to see. To many people that I do not trust. This would be good to put on your class blog. But other then that I do not see much use.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the trust issue. I think that to use something like this in the classroom I would post pictures of the work we do in the class, without puting the pictures of my students. I would make sure that it is only posted in a private blog where the parents can have access and if I decide to put pictures of my students I would make sure to have written permission from the parents.
ReplyDeleteThat is such a great idea to use the mashup as a game for the students. To see if tehy can identify places and things. I would never have thought about that
ReplyDeleteTrusting people is incredibly hard, especially after hearing stories on the news about children disappearing and such. I am so glad you got the pictures to show! The mosaic looks great. And thank you for all the help in class this morning!
