Thing #7 Google, not just for searching anymore

Google is amazing. I wish I had bought stock in it! I just finished a Picasa Web Album of our library. I took photos of the outside of the high school, the entry, and pictures inside the library. It was fairly easy to upload the photos and create the album. If you would like to see the slide show or the individual pictures, click MHS Library.

Thing #6 Flickr Mashups

Flickr mashups have been the most interesting of all the "23 Things" so far. I couldn't get into Mappr, but I did look at Flickr Color Pickr which is great for finding coordinating color photos for signs we use in the library. I can definitely use this. The Mosaic Maker was the most fun. I could use this on our library web site to post students' pictures. Spell with Flickr was great to play with!

Thing #5 Discover Flickr

Wow! Flickr has so much to explore and learn about. What a great site! At first I was going to use my own pictures from school to post on my blog, but after reading about "photo posting etiquette" I realized it wouldn't work. My photos all had students in them, and it would involve a lot of parent permission letters. So, I just did a fun photo instead.
