Thing #10 Flickr

So, when I first started to "explore" Flickr, I got overwhelmed! I knew I needed to find pictures that I could use, so I went to the "Commons" when I was exploring Flickr, however the pictures there were not what I was looking for, and I was getting bummed about this assignment. I didn't want to just pick pictures because I had to, I really wanted to find pictures I could use for this assignment, but also for my classroom. I'm all about "killing two birds with one stone". So, I got off Flickr for the night, and tried again today. I'm so glad I tried again, because I explored more and found "Creative Commons"! That's where I needed to be, not just "The Commons". I must say it was then I started to get excited about this assignment! There were LOTS of pictures for me to choose from, and when I put in a search for "animals" since we're learning about them soon, I got what I was looking for! I used the slide show option and then starred or added some pictures to my favorites, then once I was finished (I got bored before all the pictures were finished- there are a lot of CC pictures!) I went to my favorites and picked from those, which ones are the best. Here is my favorite!http://www.flickr.com/photos/kjunstorm/2222367956/
