I used a mushup - Mosaic Maker by BIG HUGE LABS (BHL) to create a picture collection about my trip to Gatlingburg, TN. I registered with BHL so that I can upload the pictures and they offer more tools and utilities I may use later.
I think Flickr and image mashups like Mosaic Maker could be used in my classroom as well as my personal life. I can upload pictures related to reading assignments for the students and create a nice frame to organize the pictures. I will also encourage my students to try these mashups if they already have social networking accounts like FaceBook. I feel very comfortable about sharing photos online. I have my personal blog which has many pictures of my personal life and my parents, friends, and students can view them and leave comments.
Hi Selene- I think you did a great job on your mosaic. I created a mosaic, too. I chose to use photos I have taken of hibiscus flowers as our family has travelled the past two years. I uploaded the pics to Flickr and then I was able to use them for the mosaic. As for sharing photos online for the world to see? I still have some reservations about that. I am working on it!
