I found Thing 7 to be relatively easy, as compared to some of the other things. The only concern I had was that Flickr is owned by Yahoo...I have had some problems with my Yahoo account recently. Someone hacked into it and sent some inappropriate emails to everyone in my phonebook! I told everyone to ignore these, as one person opened one and it caused a virus. I eliminated all of my contacts in Yahoo, and I don't use that email address anymore. That was the only reason I was hesitate about doing Thing 7.
I was able to post pictures of my dog, Buddy, very quickly on Thing 7. I can see how this would be a useful tool at school. The pictures could be shared amongst my speech & language students and used as stimuli for verbal description exercises and writing exercies. A fun activity for the students might be to have a few pictures uploaded and shown on a screen. I would secretly choose one of the pictures. Then the students would take turns asking "yes,no" questions that I would answer to help them guess which picture I chose, like the game "20 questions."
