I wanted to explore flickr but I imploded!!
Exploring flickr, like many other Web 2.0 explorations, is time consuming, rewarding sometimes and at others incredably frustrating. As a luddite, I am always a bit sceptical about these things, but can see many ways to use Flickr and all the other "bits".
Our students, who have grown up with the internet and digital cameras, mobile phones, ipods etc etc.. are quite comfortable and even aspire to make themselves "clickable", 24 hours a day and have no qualms about telling the world about themselves and showing everything.
As educaters, we need to make them aware of their digital footprint and ensure they understand the notion of copyright. However, copyright as we know it is undergoing a transformation and re-invention. Teachers and students need to help each other work out what copyright, creative commons and digital footprints mean in the 21st century.
