Sharing Photos
Shortly after we explored Flickr in this class, my husband came in from his photography club meeting and asked me if I knew about Picasa. I was able to say yes, having learned about it as one of the Web 2.0 tools. Thus we proceeded to access some pictures a fellow photo club member posted and I helped him post several of his pictures. Now he thinks he has invented a new way to slice bread.
He thought that was so great that he decided he would share a large group of photos with some family members. Technology is not his expertise. He has learned how to use IPhoto successfully, but new platforms remain a challenge.
I won’t go into all the details, but let’s just say that my training as teacher and my DPa degree (Doctorate in Patience) were fully tested. I finally convinced him to use Flickr because his version of IPhoto has a built in interface for Flickr. We set up his account and he is now off and publishing. Everyone at the Thanksgiving gathering had to hear about Flickr.
I get a chuckle listening to him tell his story. It gives me another reason to be excited about all I have learned in this class.
