After setting up another account with YahooMail, I established myself as a member of Flickr and uploaded a few photos to my account, which are now available to all other Flickr members.
I tried to find some photos that interested me to post to this blog, so I searched a friends name as an idea, and I found some photos of a woman's vacation in Cuba.
They are of her (Valeria Jimenez), sitting with the statue of John Lennon that is in a Plaza in Havana City and the other is of a courtesy sign from a library that reads as,
"The library is a mine of knowledge, explore it with your eyes and respect it with your silence"
I think this technology could be utilised in many ways. For example, students could be asked to research geographical features of a certain country, and by downloading other peoples personal images from Flickr (such as photos from people's vacations) and using them in a PowerPoint presentation, they could present this to a class as a form of assessment.
