Thing #5

This was one of the first times I've used Flickr. Our cheer squad uses Shutterfly and Flickr appears to be similar to it in many ways. I love that it has copyright free photos. This will be very helpful for my classes if my students can get to these photos. When edit tons of photos in my BIMM (soon to be DIM) class and it's not always easy to find a photo the students like that you know doesn't have copyrights attached. As long as the school doesn't block Flickr, I can see us using the Creative Commons on an almost daily basis. The fact that you can tag photos so it makes it easy to find exactly what you are looking for is very nice. The group feature is similar to what we use in Shutterfly for Cheer. We have a group set up so only members can see and access the pictures. Does anyone know if this is blocked for the students?

Here's a picture I downloaded.
I decided to use a picture of a pool because that's where I wish I was right now!
