Flickr appears to be a nice tool to store photos so you never lose them! It reminds me of any photo download spot, with the exception of the creative commons search tool. I have attached a photo that reminds me of my summer vacation. This boat used to be in the harbor, but has since [...]

Creative Commons is a great tool that is flourishing on Web2.0. It is going to make educating on the web much easier and more flexible. I think it is great that someone can tag a site, photo, or movie as “some rights reserved” instead of “all rights reserved”. Teachers will still have ownership of their [...]

Some of the most common ones being, my-space, facebook, linkd, and there are hundreds more. In the classroom I truly believe that having computers and [...]
