journey using
flickr
Your possibilities are endless
I have included the basic steps to create and upload pictures to a flickr account. As you explore the site, you
may create sets of photos, create groups of sets, search flickr to include as your ͞favorites͟ on flickr, and
invite others to share your photos.
How can I use Flickr in my media center or classroom
• You can search and create your own sets of photos centered around a topic. Only those that you allow to view your photos can see these sets.
• There are also safety settings on Flickr called ͞safe searches .͟ This allows you to control what turns up on your Flickr searchs. So/no more random Google image searches for projects.
