Thing 5

Thing 5 was great. I had no idea that Flickr had so many facets. It is a great new resource for doing image searches for my elementary art classes. I got "stuck" for several hours just looking at photos! Now all I have to do is upload all my photo memory cards to Flickr so that I can erase all those cards and use them again, instead of buying new memory cards for my camera! So now, instead of fretting over not finding time to get prints from my photo cards and "albumatizing" them, I can now fret over not having time to upload, label, and digitally organize all my memory cards! However, if and when I actually do this, my family and friends will not have to keep bugging me for my photos...

I downloaded 5 images from Flickr. Three were of a fourth grade art project, and two were third grade art projects. I did a search for "elementary student art" in the hopes of finding some new ideas for projects with my own classes. These three projects were different and so I decided to keep them for possible use with my classes. I hope I can upload these images to my blog successfully. Later...actually it took me awhile to figure out how to upload the photos--had to use the "Help" section. I finally figured out how to delete the first photo from my home page (where I didn't want it posted,) and actually create a new page for my 5 photos. Took me awhile to get how to "edit" stuff also.
