Module 6

What is Flickr?

'Flickr is an image and video hosting website, web services suite, and online community.'


 
Having never used Flickr before and not really considered having a Flickr account.......I've now done both and can see how it can be a very useful tool both for educational purposes  and for personal use at home.







These  photos were taken at Cape Tribulation when I was there on holidays Xmas 2009.

Module 3

What is google docs?

Google Docs is a free, Web-based word processor, spreadsheet, presentation, form, and data storage service offered by Google.

I can see the value of google docs  used for homework or in the classroom whereby group assignments can be worked on and fine tuned in their own time from home and not interfere with any other important class activities or personal family time.
