Thing #8

Poochie

I'm not sure of how I could appropriately use some of the Flickr mashups in my classroom, but it's definitely worth taking the time to think about it. I have enjoyed playing around with the different mashup tools to create different things with my photos. I made motivational posters, puzzles (as seen in this post), magazine covers, and a breast cancer awareness poster. There are some others that I used, but these are the ones I played around with the most. I would most likely use this more in my personal life to doctor some of my pictures. The tools make the picture something uniquely different but still show off the goodness of the original picture.
As I stated in the last post, I am mostly ok with posting pictures online but there is a line that has to be drawn (in my opinion) between posting pictures and posting one's entire life story online. If someone can literally find me because they have put together where I am by the different aspects in my pictures, then I have put too much out there. If I consider those boundaries and post carefully, then I am ok with posting pictures.** I think the more I think about it, the more uncomfortable I am becoming with posting personal pictures online.**
