What is Photo Sharing?

"Photo sharing is the publishing or transfer of a user's digital photos online, thus enabling the user to share them with others (whether publicly or privately). This functionality is provided through both websites and applications that facilitate the upload and display of images." ( Wikipedia)

Once the photos are online, different photo sharing sites offer a variety of tools to organize, print, display, edit, annotate, tag, manipulate, and use them.

You can add "tags" or keywords to your photos. That will help you organize, sort and find information.

 

You can embed photo slide shows as curriculum support into other tools, including blogs and wikis

Using Picasa Web Albums you can create a Flash slideshow to embed in your blog or webpage. Each slideshow features built-in playback controls, size options, and the ability to display captions.

To create and embed a slideshow:

  1. Sign in to your Google Account for Picasa Web Albums at http://picasaweb.google.com using your Google Account username and password.
  2. Click the My Photos link and select the album you'd like to make a slideshow.
  3. Click the Embed Slideshow link. This creates a Flash slideshow from the album you've selected. When you update this album, your slideshow is automatically updated to show the latest photos.
  4. To embed the slideshow, copy and paste the HTML code that's shown into your blog or webpage.
  5. Optional: For information about the slideshow, click the Picasa logo in the lower-right corner.

lightbulbTip: Once it's embedded into your blog or site, people viewing your slideshow can click the person icon to go to your public gallery or click Get Your Own to start making their own portable slideshows.

Use photo sharing to:

  • teach students how to search for royalty free photos for project (creative commons licensing in Flickr is great for this!)
  • post a picture of the day for students to comment on
  • create a montage of photos on a curricular topic
  • create an online photo journal with students to capture a field trip or special event
