Flicker Activity
Hey Everyone,
So I finally uploaded the pictures I took onto the Flicker Website, and I found it very easy to do, and enjoyable. I took pictures from around my house, but tried to get low down to the floor to capture the view that I child would have. I also used the knowledge that I read about in the children and photography article to take pictures of subject matter that would be interesting to a child. Luckily my room has plenty of stuffed animals, and my house is filled with childhood memories, so it wasn't to hard for me to find things that would interest a child. I also put captions under the pictures, which explains a little bit about what the child said about their photographs. I feel that online albums, where the children can display their photographs are a great idea to implement into classroom settings. For children photography is a great learning experience, and it becomes even more meaningful when the activity is extended so that the children can reflect upon the images they capture, and share them with their friends and family. Obviously their is the concern for privacy, but their is a feature on Flicker that allows the user to choose who they want to share their photographs with. I really enjoyed completing this assignment, and loved how simple and fast I was able to create my album and share it with friends and even groups of people that I added. Oh I almost forgot, here is the link to the photo's I put up, take a look because I think they are fairly funny. http://www.flickr.com/photos/24471714@N0






Thanks for sharing friend. The extension of sharing through a child's eyes with comments in relation to photo's for me placed helped me to translate the meaning of them through their eyes.
