Thing #4


Egypt & Greece 123

Isn't it wonderful how pictures help retain memories? My husband and I traveled to Egypt, Greece, and Italy the summer of 2004. He teaches ancient history courses so this was a dream trip for him, and I just love to travel and learn so it was fabulous for me, too! This is sunset on the Nile River...stunning.

I decided to create a flickr account since a few of my friends and family already use flicker. It took me quite a while to work through all the in's and out's of it, and I'm sure I've hardly begun to see all it can do! I tried to upload this picture from my blog page and wasn't able to do it, but when I created my blog connection on flickr I could upload it and blog from there.

This would be a great tool for classes as students plan and create projects together, and a wonderful way for teachers to post photos from the day/week/month of events in the class. As much as I love learning new things, though, it would have been much more time efficient just to upload the same picture from my computer directly to my blog.

Now, I hope this works...
