No. 3 - Photo Managment & Sharing
Many of you may be familiar with photo sharing for it has been around for some time now. There are a lot of online photo sharing tools available, such as Flickr, Photobucket,Picassa Web Albums, Shutterfly, and Zooomr. Although each of these sites has its own unique features, they all have two common goals:
1. Help users make their photos and videos available to other people
2. Enable new ways of organizing photos and video
Photo sharing tools allow us to share school happenings with our families. They also support visual literacy, research and provide our students with another opportunity to see the world through others' eyes.
