Flickr is a way to store, sort, search and share your photos online. Flickr helps you organize photos you have and share the photos with your friends and family. Once you sign up with Flickr you can take a tour and learn everything there is to know about the website. The tour teaches you that you can share you pictures by email, name or by inviting friends. You can also set up who gets to see the pictures, meaning that you can make it public or private depending on who you want to see the pictures. You can use Flickr on your social networking website or even on your blog website :). You can upload your pictures from your phone right to Flickr or email the pictures to Flickr or upload the pictures right to the website.

Flickr makes organizing your pictures really easy. You can organize your pictures by labeling them or putting them in to groups. If you label them and put them in to groups you can later go back and search for the picture very easily. You can also upload videos.

Its a very easy picture to store your pictures, even if its just for yourself so when you get a new laptop or computer or something happens and you happen to loss all your pictures at lease you still have all your pictures online somewhere for you to still have them.

Delicious and NetVibes

Delicious is a website that is used to bookmark any sit on the internet and get to it from anywhere. You can show your bookmarks and get bookmarks in return. Delicious is also a way to check out other popular website that other Delicious users marked. For Teachers... Delicious is a great way to keep all your teaching websites in the same place. Many teachers could find a website and not need to use it but every once in a while. So Delicious is the right place to store your websites because it makes it easy to find them. Delicious makes it easy to share things by making it so you can "tag" a site and maybe even write a note about the site so other users now just what they would find on that site.

Another website that is a lot like Delicious is NetVibes. On NetVibes you can take everything that matters to you while your online and bring them together in one single page (like pictures, email, videos..etc.) Like its your own personal dashboard. Netvibes puts all the websites in to things called "widgets" that you can move around on your dashboard. You can search for the websites you want to add to your dashboard in the categories they give you to pick from.

Netvibe is a good way to keep your EVERYDAY websites in one place, unlike Delicious where you can store websites that you do not use everyday and the ones that you do use everyday.
Also.. You could share your Delicious and Netvibe website with an furture employer so that way they can see that you have been working in the past online and that you have some teaching ideas already down.

Here are the websites:

Kids and Computers!

Seen computers have first been in schools, Children have always in interested in them. The children can play games, watch movies, download songs and now do just about anything on a computer. Many people think that if children play on computers that they will have a short attention span for anything else. But the truth is that most children just want to teach us teaches that if we can improve are teaching ways to something on the computer or some kind of technogly that maybe they would pay attention better and learn things faster and it would stick in there brains longer if we taught them something and they learned it from a computer game. They will remember everything about the game. So Maybe if teachers would not stick to there old ways and learn how to use computers programs, the kids would learn faster.
