Well I've created a flickr page and uploaded 3 photos which is quite easy to do as they prompt you along very simply. The adding of photos to the blog became a little more troublesome as they are moving without my asking them to. This could be a very usegful tool for English since we do visual literacy and deconstruct the impact of colour, positioning and participants. It is always difficult finding images that offer varying camera angles for the students to look at since google images tends to be blocked on our system to students. This would be a way of getting around that issue nicely. Flickr seems like it would also be a good way of sharing photos with a class of major works (videos, artworks and photography stills) this would simplify my marking by having them all in one spot-- besides stopping the large box of awkwardly shaped marking that you transport from home to school each day.
