Thing #6 Flickr Mashups

I made a cool puzzle with one of my photos of stained glass windows, but when I tried to upload it a warning said

So I decided against it.
Still if I wanted to I could take photos of my nephews and nieces and give them each their own puzzle as a gift.
That's pretty cool. Although in this culture of customizing I don't know if it would be as cool to them as it would have been to me. They are used to seeing people's pitures on mugs and notepads and such. I still think it's cool.

How can you use any of these tools in your library or media center?
What do you think of sharing photos online?

I think these tools would be cool when dealing with teens inparticular. We can catch their attention for a minute.

Sharing photos online is great - even if it is just between family members and friends. I have an irrational fear of archival images being destroyed. Not having to worry about fire or flood ruining my family photos has been a relief.

Before this I gave each of my immediate family members a fire box for Christmas one year. Imagine their joy when I told them it was to preserve their photo negatives;)

I also keep our family photo albums and yearbooks by the front door in case we ever need to evacuate - maybe I could grab a few.

I wasn't always like this. Really I wasn't! But moving to FL and experiencing wildfires and hurricanes and trying to pack all of this stuff, 3 kids, my husband and the dog into a car makes me happy to have an online solution.

I'm sure we all have our foibles...right...right???
