When you write a book for the education technology market (no matter the traditional or the ebook approach), you have to take some risks in selecting apps, learning experiences, etc. You can spend a lot of time explaining apps or potential learning experiences that are dropped or fall from favor.
We have long focused our proposed “learning through image collection” on Flickr. This online service is a Yahoo! product and this company has fallen on hard times. With new leader Marissa Mayer, Yahoo! is beginning to make new commitments. As we had hoped, some new developments involve Flickr. Today, it was announced that both the online site and the IOS app have been upgraded.
The Android app was updated last week. I am now looking forward to taking some phone photos over break. The following is a screenshot of an image I posted to Flickr as viewed from my Galaxy Nexus.
I have a Canon 7D and some nice lenses I can use for serious photography. My phone, however, has a valuable feature my 7D does not. It can geotag my images so I know exactly where I was when the picture was taken.
