One of the most popular photo sharing communities out there is Flickr.
Flickr lets you upload your photos, add friends, follow their Flickr streams, leave comments, and join groups relevant to your interests. Here are a few activities to get you started sharing photos on Flickr.
- Sign up for a Flickr account. You can use your Facebook or Google ac- count to sign up.
- Upload a photo. You can upload a picture from your computer’s hard drive, from one of your social networks, your mobile phone, or many photo apps. Flickr makes it easy to figure out.
- Be sure to fill out all the fields on your photo including a title, description, and relevant tags. Include the tag CE14 so others following this connected educator starter kit can search for your photo.
- Search “CE14” or “connected educator” in the search box and see if other connected educators are uploading photos. Browse through their accounts and perhaps add a few of them as contacts.
- Join the Flickr for Education group and browse the photos. Leave a comment on a photo that you find interesting.
- Once you have a few more Flickr photos, consider turning them into a YouTube video for a quick-look of your life through photographs!
