I have been busy researching and bookmarking this week with my delicious account. This is a very good tool as I can bookmark something seen at school and not have to email myself the website for home use anymore. Now, I can work at home and school with the bookmarks made on www.delicious.com. Why didn't I think of something like this? I believe I have my webquest idea but need to start planning for it now. Rebecca and I have spoken regarding our Flickr presentation and will be meeting this week to work on our handout. I created a Flickr account for my Photography class to use and am hoping it will solve some of our "issues" we have in Photography of students not being able to put their photos on the school computer on their deadline day. In speaking with one of the assistant principals regarding the use of a Flickr account in Photography, she said it was a great idea as long as I don't do anything like document a field trip. Apparently, they had just had a discussion of this nature in a meeting. It is a violation of the Ferpa privacy act. Our book we are reading in class suggests the use of Flickr to post photos of field trips. So, it is always good to run ideas past administration!!! I did receive my grade from the first class and received an A so I am thrilled. Due to my age, I was a bit worried about me doing this program. Actually, it may help in some aspects as I am determined to get an A with me paying so much money for tuition. I told my college-age children they need to follow in my footsteps. I also asked them what kind of reward I get for making a 99. They just laughed!
