Fun with Photos: Flickr and Big Huge Labs!


Does you and your family own any of those old family albums, where family pictures are saved and shared among relatives and friends? Nowadays pictures can be shared not only physically, but digitally and online as well! Today we will be experimenting with Flickr, an online image hosting site. Think of Flickr as a public album of photos and images that everyone can share! People all over the world upload and share their images on Flickr, which means that there are thousands of photos to view there.

Take a look at Flickr. Take the tour and write up a blog with "Flickr" in the title that answers these questions:

1. What is the coolest thing about Flickr? Why?

2. How could you use Flickr? One idea is to post and share pictures of your family vacation. Have any others?

3. Choose an image from Flickr and post it in your blog post. Tell us why you chose the image.


After checking out Flickr, go to Big Huge Labs. Create any of the projects or "toys" using an image you own or one from Flickr. Post this into your blog!
