Flickr Slideshows Again

Yesterday I posted about a tool that allows you to embed a slide show of Flickr images (Pictobrowser), though this is a great tool which gives a nice clean display, it did not allow me to create a show of images based on a group or tag. Now I have found a slideshow tool that allows me to create a show based on either a user, group or tag. This has allowed me to embed a slide show on the Teachmeet site based on the tag teachmeetnel. Great!!

The slide show below is a display of all the images from the London borough of Redbridge Pool and was easy to embed, once you found the group id. Instructions for which are given on the Flickr Slide show Generator website. but if you miss them you need to:

Go to the group you want to get pictures from -
click on post new topic -
the url will end with a long code like this 38113494@N00
copy this part of the url and paste into the group id box of Flickr Slideshow Generator
Copy the code and paste onto your site/blog
Easy

The London Borough of Redbridge Flickr Pool - enjoy

Leading ICT Teachers Go Blogging

Today we investigated and evaluated the numerous blogging tools available to schools.

We discussed and explored applications across the curriculum. During the morning we investigated how to embed content, such as google maps, BBC Interactive Activities and video to enhance children's learning by making it more purposeful.

After great debate and evaluation for fitness for purpose, we recommend that Blogger provide the best functionality and intuitive interface. However we recommend that you read the help sheets before attempting to blog.

We have produced guidance on How to Blog and Why you should blog in the first place.

Follow the links below for the finished blog - which is ideal for INSET use. It includes easy to use help sheets.
