An Experience with Multimedia

As of right now, I don't really like Flickr, but to be fair - I haven't really given it a chance either. I think the layout seems dull and this distracts me from all it really has to offer...

But in addition to this, I realized that even though I haven't come to like these programs yet (and mind you, I haven't given them much chance yet either - this is about to change), I don't have much of a choice. These are the programs that will be available to my teachers and students. Right now we are mostly PC and only the few art computers are equipped with the wonderful "Photoshop."

I browsed around the links provided and wasn't really sure what I was looking for. I didn't understand many of the photos posted or the background for the photos - I think that's what bores me... I'd like some explanation to draw me in.

My plan to open my mind to Flickr begins with this link: http://jakespeak.blogspot.com/2006/03/classroom-uses-of-flickr.html - Jakesonline wiki led me to his blogger page which is full of great ideas.

I also found this wiki - http://web20-instruction.wikispaces.com/Using+Flickr+for+Instruction
Using Flickr for Instruction - this too, seems like a great resource.
