I thought this was a beautiful picture. It took me a long time to figure out how to embed photos from flickr. I got a lot of error messages when I tried to load them onto the blog. Finally, after uploading the photos to the desktop I could attach them. I also noticed that many people were having troubles loading their images from flickr to the blog. After many hours and alot of attempts, I was successful. I have learned that I need to be very patient with technology!

That is a really beautiful picture.
Right now, I'm a little on the fence about whether or not I'd like to use flickr in my classes. I think it's fairly easy to use, but there are also a lot of quirks about it...a lot of special info to know. And I'm just not sure if I want to spend time using this tool in my ESL classes just yet because I feel like it will take a while to teach my students how to use it.
We'll definitely use Voicethread later in the semester - I love that web app - the technology is so transparent!
I also love this picture! Kind of a self-portrait?
I think if we want to use VoiceThread in class, we're also going to need to teach Flickr. Otherwise, where else will the photos come from? Google Images? The students' own photos? Maybe.
