FLICKR
FLICKR is an online photo sharing tool and space. Members upload their photos, tag their photos, and share them with private users or the whole world. It's up to the user and how they set their privacy settings. Tagging is key in a social photosharing site. The users determine the categories for the photos and how information is organized. There is no guidebook for this--it just happens naturally. For example, let's say you have a picture of a German Shepherd dog. One person may tag or name the photo as dog, another may tag it guard_dog, and still another person may call it scary_dog. Three people tag the same dog in three different ways. This is called [|folksonomy]. Can you think of other online tools that you have used that rely on tagging and folksonomy?

Task 1: Tour Flickr
Take a tour of [|flickr].

**[[image:cc.jpg]]Task 2: Collect CC Flickr Photos**
Using the [|advanced search tool], you can search for images on flickr that are creative commons licensing, which means you can adapt and utilized the images in your own work, as long as you give credit to the artist. To responsibly and respectfully use creative commons images, video, and music, you must list the author's name and a link to their work or page. It's that simple. Everyone has to do their part, so that creative commons works for everyone. YOU DO NOT NEED TO REGISTER to "borrow" images from flickr.

Collect creative commons photos from flickr that represent a theme, something you enjoy, a life philosophy, a favorite of yours, or images that could illustrate a favorite poem. Create a folder in your MY DOCUMENTS on the school network called **TECH20.** Open the folder TECH10 and create another folder within called **FLICKR**. Select about 8 images from FLICKR in total. We will use these images to make a slideshow next time, using some awesome web 2.0 tools. As you work, copy the artist's name and the URL of their work, and paste this information into a .doc/text document. You will need to be able to go back to their page in the future!
