Module 4

I reckon I must have about 7 different email accounts now. Yahoo being the latest. Makes you wonder how many people/companies around the world know your details...

Flickr was pretty straightforward to set up and use. The database contains a huge number of pictures which is great when looking for resources on a certain topic. I like the idea that many of the photos are not copyright. This makes for a valuable school library. I have searched on Flickr before. It can be a little tedious opening each picture and downloading it or going back to look at the next one. Does anyone know if there is a quicker way to do this?

I'm not sure if I would use Flickr for my own personal photos. I have friends travelling the world who keep their friends up to date by posting photos on Flickr- so I do see benefits. I guess another reason to use Flickr might be to have a back-up of your own photos in a secondary location. Time will tell if the program becomes more useful to me down the line.
