Online Photo sharing tools

Bubbleshare seems to be the most simple put of the three photo sharing tools that we covered in class on Monday. It allows you to upload multiple pictures at once, add characters, video and sound to your album, and tag your photos. If I were to use one of these online photo sharing tools it would be Bubbleshare. I think kids would really enjoy adding sound to their photos as well as other images or video. It also would be the easiest for student to navigate around in a short amount of time. Photobucket allows you to send pictures to Myspace, Facebook, and even cell phones. I think that there were too many inappropriate photos right on the front page to use in a classroom. Flickr allows you to easily set up an account where you upload photos from your desktop, email or your cellphone, it then allows you to create albums, create a map to show where the photos was taken and make photo books, cards, and DVDs. I think that this could be a fun way for students to share photos for assignments but I think that it would require heavy monitoring and firewalls. In Flickr it allows you to create a group, if you were using this in a school you could create a group for your class and then only allow students to view only photos in your group.
