Thing # 11

I love Flickr as much as I am frustrated with wikis! A whole new treasure trove of images unfolds page after page after page. The documenting is relatively easy to do, especially if I only search within the Creative Common licensed photos. From now on, when I assign technology projects that would require images, I know how to instruct my students on properly borrow images from Flickr. Although, I have a feeling most of them already know about it and will be frustrated that I now know about it and will make them document their images.

The photos I searched and chose were pink flowers and fairy tales. (Read the blog title: Hopeless Romantic...) Here is one of my favorites:
