Think of ways you may be able to use Flickr in the classroom or in your work and share your ideas. What issues might you face?
Flikr is a great tool for students to create an online portfolio of their work. However, I would like to use Artsonia along with Flikr. At Artsonia students can upload photos of their work. Their work can be saved from preschool all the way up through high school. When they graduate, they can print a digital portfolio of all of their work. Parents can purchase items with their child's art printed on it. All proceeds go to their school of choice. In this case, RMS.
So how can Flikr and Artsonia be used together? Students could use Flikr as a more public domain for their work. Is Flikr a safe site for children? That I am not sure of. Artsonia protects children's identities from creeps and plagiarisers. That is why I prefer that site for my students.
An image of my paper art is soon to follow.
To the best of my knowledge, Flickr is purely public. I'm not sure how identities are shown. You need an account to log in and you can set pictures to private, families, or friends, so I guess there is a relatively safe avenue for children with regard to posting pictures online or displaying identities.
