Number 4 of 23

I have viewed my grandchildren's pictures through a professional photographer's Flickr account. Now I know how it is done. I am trying to think how I can use this professionally. It would be fun to add to my book review blog, especially over the summer so that myself and students could upload pictures on activities and news. This was a fairly easy process. I would enjoy teaching students this resource. I am also the Yearbook advisor. I coud have the students upload to Flickr and then organize the pictures into sets. This would make the searching for pictures much easier at publishing time.

Number 3 of 23: I have played with the RSS feeds before. I have to admit, that I have not used them. I am on a list serve of several organizations, and that seems to fill my time. I can see the benefit of choosing what you want sent, instead of everything coming at yu or having to chech your favorites frequently. I did set up an account and selected some "23 Things on a Stick" blogs from my region. I recognize some of the users, so it is interesting to read their comments. I have already been sharing my experiences at my school. Several teachers would like to set up classroom blogs for books reports and reviews. I would like to have one for the library where students could submit reviews or ask questions on posted reviews. Our security block will not alow Blogspot through. I am curious, does anyone know of a blog site that will make it through CIPA? I have changed my blog so that it will allow comments, as I will probably have more questions to ask.
