Photosharing Sites

-Photo-sharing can be very useful in a classroom. It can show others what the class has done, show memories for the class to share, and it can be use to teach.
-Some activities that photo-sharing can be used for example, is that say you want to convey that what student's have done in class matter to the you the teacher. Take pictures of the class and what they are doing, then put it up as a slideshow on the class Wiki if you have fun and tell everyone to check it out. It might give the students pleasure to see the teach acknowleging what the students have done.
-Another example that can be done as an assignment having to do with photosharing is having the students document an outside of the class assignment that had to be done. It's one way that you can incorporate photo-sharing and to see the students actually doing the outside of the class assignment that was to be done.
-Photosharing is a great thing in my mind, though it can be a little difficult to use at first. I myself had some troubles, for example, when trying to use the photo-sharing gaget on google to the class Wiki. But in the end I finally got it, after fiddling with it more than a dozen times.
