Photo-Sharing

I have come to the conclusion that I am indeed the dinosaur of the group...perhaps not in years on this earth, but certainly in terms of technology. I still have the archaic flip phone (which is on it's last leg), I rarely text (and get frustrated when I can't figure out the punctuation), and I certainly never used a photo-sharing application. Sure, I've toyed with it during some professional development sessions....one of which was Camera Shy No More. But I never really took the time to dive in to it and explore things in depth. Thankfully this course forced me to explore photo-sharing applications this week! What did I discover? I love it. I think it could be addicting. As I was previewing Flickr, Photobucket, and Picasa, I kept thinking of ways to incorporate the images and elements into my faculty meetings, professional development offerings, presentations, and my website. I was so absorbed with the process a couple of hours went by and I didn't even realize it. Now I suppose the challenge will be monitoring the use of my time. Picasa is now a new friend of mine.
