journal #7 Photo Sharing

"Photo Sharing"

Photo Sharing allows people to share and upload photos. Photo Sharing has an easy uploading process that is easy to use. You simply upload the selected photos or slide shows and it does all the work for you! It is a easy and effective way to share your personal photos. When using Photo Sharing, teachers are able to share their pictures with students and their families without having to burn a CD or upload their personal slide shows to the school's website. Teachers can use iphoto to upload their own photos. Teachers can use Photo Sharing to create slide shows for his/her classroom. Being able to access slide shows on-line is a great way for students that are sick to catch up on their missed work. Having students upload their personal slide shows or projects onto Photo Sharing also creates a better way to communicate with their peers. They can work cumulatively on projects while at home. Having students turn in their final work is also a great way for the teacher to stay organized and have his/her students/ work neatly together on Photo Sharing.

An example when a teacher might incorporate Photo Sharing with his/her students is having each individual student upload personal photos of their favorite hobbies, their friends and family and their lifestyles in the beginning of the year. This is an easy, and fun way for students to learn more about each other and create a better classroom community. Sharing their photos will allow them to become more comfortable with one another.

  4. This is a very great tool for the classroom, especially with fieldtrips going on and other classroom pictures. It provides the parents of the students ways to see what exactly is going on in the classroom without any hassle.
