The topic for this module was Flickr. At first I was skeptical that it could live up to it's expectations but after some exploration I'm extremely in danger in turning into the local paparazzi just to get some more photos to upload. The tutorial was extremely helpful as was having access to Atomic learning to be able to fine tune certain aspects. I love the fact you can add a map of where you have taken photos and this is a tool I will use in the future even if just for searching for some inspiration in my own photographic adventures. The fun things to make and do will keep me entertained for hours once I take lots more photos and add them on. I've always wanted to create one of those photo coffee table books and now the means are at hand. On the copyright issue side of things I can see the need for caution. I myself was extremely cautious about which photos I've taken would be alright to upload. I feel that it may be polite/necessary to seek permission from the subjects in the photos before putting them on the web for all to see. I can see where there is a great need for education before encouraging students to freely use this resource. Here is a sample of the photo set I created in Flickr. It shows the process of building our frog friendly (hopefully) pond.
