I feel I am making progress with my technological maturation. To have transitioned through new learning in blogs, RSS, and now Flickr is opening up new horizens for me and more importantly for use in my career.
I had a great time learning about Flickr and the endless possibilities that exist in the digital photo world. So many wonderful pictures. I was intrigued that not only can you view pictures, but you can also socially network and interface with the actual creaters of their photos. This is definitely going get me to finally, in 2010, get a digital camera and expand my photographic skills.
The only thing that I was curious about was when you search the Flickr site most of the photos I looked at had copyright potections. Does that mean that you can not copy them to your computer for personal use? At what level do you violate copyright with photos?
Through utilization of Compfight and the Library of Congress digital photos, I was able to locate photos that had either no restrictions or limited restrictions. Compfight was the easiest to find photos using creative commons commerial or only as a filter.
The photo above was chosen for this blog because it reminds me of my early days in my career transition when I was completing my teaching certificatation process in speech pathology. In 2000, I spent much time in preschool classrooms conducting circle time and interactive oral reading activites with my wonderful students. Brings back fond memories. Have a great day, Gregory Jacoby
