Thing 8

As I was exploring the different Flickr Mashups, I couldn't decide which ones I wanted to use. I love creative stuff like this. I made my name from the Spell with Flickr and then I made a little photo mosaic from Mosaic Maker. I would love to use these two apps in the future with teaching and in my personal life. I thought the "spell with Flickr" would be neat to make classroom name tags and bulletin boards. My mosaic is several pictures of me and my little brother whom is my inspiration in becoming a special education teacher. This would be a fun project for a classroom when everyone is getting to know one another. It would also be fun to get to know what the kids are interested in by what they included in their picture mosaic. I have mixed feelings about sharing photos online. I think it is an awesome way to stay in touch with family (by showing pictures of your kids and family), and if I was a photographer I would totally show off my photos online. The only problem is making sure nobody else can take credit from your work. I've also heard about people using your personal pictures as their own, and that is also a little scary. However, I obviously like the idea of sharing pictures online enough to love apps like these!
