Koehler Center for Teaching Excellence: Flickr

Flickr by kate marshall I'm a huge fan of the photo sharing site Flickr, especially since they finally got it together and released some Flickr apps for smartphones and a Flickr app for the iPad. However, I understood Flickr to be primarily place where you uploaded all 2,347 pictures of your new baby (ahem). But recently I've run across a few other blog posts detailing the scholarly side of Flickr. Who knew?! The Academic Technology blog at the College of William and Mary has a great post discussing the options for sharing your research-related images. How do you share a gallery of annotated images with select individuals without the need for additional accounts on the part of the viewers? A Flickr album! Note that the above presumes you have - and have the rights to use - the images. If you'd like to use properly licensed Flickr images, there's a lovely how-to from Derek Bruff, the director of the Vanderbilt University Center for Teaching and a senior lecturer in the department of mathematics there. ProfHacker has also recently outlined how to use Flickr to make better slides. If you're not finding the images you need through Flickr, you can always try Google: we've written about finding properly licensed images using Google image search. And, in case you feel like going image-crazy, here is a past post of ours about the ways in which you might find, edit, and use digital images. kate marshall | April 5, 2013 at 9:45 am | Tags: images, iPad, iphone, presentation, smartphone | Categories: regular | URL: http://wp.me/s1XeZv-flickr Comment    See all comments    Like
