For class this week I have enjoyed going back through some old photos from my summer academy class that taught digital photography. It was a fun class with a bunch of successful photos taken. The students shared their photos and were letting other students in the class and school use them for various projects. If I had know about creative commons at the time of the class I would have had each student create one like this. Further I would have had a Flicker site set up for the class so they could choose a creative commons attribute for it or choose to keep the photo private. It would be a great way for the students to choose what could happen with their photos. I guess this will come into play as I do my Summer Academy classes that are coming up in a few months.
Below are a few of my example flicker photos.
RSS seems to be really working for me. I am trying my best to keep up with reading the articles and blogs that I have subscribed to, but I doubt I will be able to as there are so many updates. What I do love is that I can simply click on my subscription page and see what is new without ever having to navigate to the multiple pages. What I am finding is that there really is a lot of information out there and it is just a matter of keeping up with it. The idea of the RSS really does make this a lot easier!

Mike,
ReplyDeleteThese are awesome pictures. This would be a great use of Flicker and a fabulous lesson in Creative Commons.
I also have a hard time keeping up with all of my blogs, etc. But isn't it a lot easier when they are all in one place?!
What a great way for students to learn about Creative Commons and Copyrights by making them choose how they would want their pictures viewed/used. You will have to let us know how that goes this summer!
ReplyDeleteI also am enjoying RSS feeds, but I have a hard time finding the time to read all of the great posts. I like how easy it is to see when a blog is updated and to keep track of each blog, but I still don't have the time to read all of the great posts. Maybe this summer I will have more time :-)
