Thing #6 Discovering Web 2.0 Tools - Flickr


While there were many sites that I'm familiar with and used on Web 2.0, I've never taken the opportunity to explore Flickr. Flickr is a photo sharing website where you can upload and share photos as well as videos. You can also explore photos uploaded by other people all around the world. Photos may be shared from Flickr to Facebook, Twitter, blogs, emails, and more.

What did you like or dislike about the tool?

The features I love: photo sharing, the option to have your photos private, the great photography from others. As for now, since I'm so new to the site, there is not a feature that I dislike.

What were the site’s useful features?

The site's useful features are the photo sharing features. Flickr makes it easy to post photos to Facebook, Twitter, and other social media sites as well as emails.

Could you see any applications for its use in a school or library setting?

Flickr is a great tool for teachers to store photos for presentations as well as visual representations of different elements of content.
