Thing #8

Over all I am not really thrilled with sharing photos online. I will share photos online occasionally with family but I still get somewhat concerned about the whole online and privacy thing. I do not like for my childrens pictures to be online and do not think that it is a food idea for teachers to post the pictures of their students online. Although I had fun with turning one of my photographs into a puzzel I do not think that it is something that I would use often to incorporate into my classroom. I think that it might be a nice "prize" or something that the students might enjoy getting a puzzel of themselves or of the class.


In looking at some of the other mashups I think that some of these might be more fesable for my classroom. I like that you can use images to spell words. Why not use nature photographs instead of pictures of students? I think that there are many ways around not using the student pictures on the internet and don't get me wrong, I think that all of these tools are great and I do plan on using some of them but I do not think that I will use them as often as I will use other tools that I have found with web 2.0.

As far as my personal life goes- well I think that these are great and would lvoe to add some of the personalized pictures to scrapbooks (on line srapbooks) webpages and send them to family and friends so that they can enjoy them as well. I see that I would use tools like this more in my personal life than in my professional life.
