Thing 7 - Your Own Photos

Flickr is a great site to see other people's pictures, but you, your teachers or students may want to upload your own. With a free Flickr account you can upload 100MB of photos each month. Imagine a collection of photos for Civil War study, a frog dissection, or a geometry project.

A. Create Your Flickr Account
Watch the following video to learn how to create your account. Then go back to Flickr and do it!



B. Upload
Now it's your turn to upload some photos to Flickr. Here's another video to show you how.



You may want to add the tag RESA23 to at least one of your uploaded photos and mark it public. When you search the tag RESA23, you will see photos that all the 23 Things participants have uploaded. Note: We have learned that you must upload at least five photos before a search for your tags will work.
