Photobucket & Flickr ICP Project

I thought this project was a great way to end the course. It enabled us to incorporate many the different elements we learned throughout the duration of the course in one culminating project. I feel that I gained a lot while creating this project. I really like to take photos as a hobby. I also try to incorporate photo and video use in the classroom with my students. Last year, I created a video yearbook for my classroom. All throughout the year, I captured photographs and videos of our class activities and special events our class participated in. At the end of the year, I created a video album and gave each student a copy. They absolutely loved it and so did the parents. This part of why I choose to research Photobucket and Flickr for my ICP. I really enjoyed learning about both. I will probably use Photobucket more than Flickr but I am glad to have learned about such great photo/video resources that are available online.

In addition to learning about these two sites, I was also immensely interested in the Jing software I used to create the tutorials in my PPT. I feel as though I really learned about 3 concepts. Jing was so easy to use. I definitely plan on using this tool in my classroom. I think it is a great tool to help facilitate instruction. Overall, I feel as though I learned quite a bit from completing this assignment.
