Thing #5: Explore Flickr



Groups would be a great way to share images for class content (i.e. retail concepts) or even for the MMSP study tour program. Theya re essentially "a way for people to come together around a common interest".... and they can be private, so only able to be viewed by a class for instance.

Tags allow the user to give photos a keyword (Tag) to either help you, or others, find your photos. There is a page on Flickr that lists popular Tags... http://www.flickr.com/photos/tags/ (and upon reading Wags blog further I see he notes this too).... wedding and travel are popular... but also generic... I am unsure why this photo was a result of searching for Monash (http://www.flickr.com/photos/ccdoh1/3933056600/)

woops... just posted my first image and then read the privacy bit on the 23 things blog.... learning in action...
