Using Flickr’s new search for PowerPoint

 

Flickr has updated it’s search facility. This video shows how to use it to get Commons images for your presentation. Incidentally, the video was also uploaded to Flickr! There is much more versatility to Flickr now and with more extensive use of the Tag tools I can use it a lot more with my students. I can see that uploading multimedia projects to a Group will help me see all at one and allow extensive peer evaluation.

Virtual Apple Mac museum

This is one of many Mac photo pools – the difference is mine is meant for obsolete designs only! It’s starting to grow now with items from all over the world. Pay a visit to:

Check out what enthusiasts spend their time doing. I started this pool and have now moved them due to Flickr’s restrictions to 200 photos per free account. I did have a pro account but when I didn’t renew they removed my pix! I didn’t get to choose which ones and lost some I’d uploaded off someone else’s camera. My advice is try Picasa instead.

Extending Flickr

Has the novelty started wearing off your Flickr account? Well, I decided I didn’t want to share my travel photos anymore so I deleted them. What else can I do with Flickr now? Here at http://bighugelabs.com/flickr/ there are some great “toys” for keeping your interest in your Flickr account and making some wonderful photo ideas. Try it out – they’re free!
