This is how an image looks when the blog entry is created from within Flickr. In this case, I used the blogger plug in to send this image from my Photostream to my blog and it created this page at the same time. This kind of combination of tasks [Photo edit and blogging] lends itself well to the teacher or student who either uses and iOS device like the iPad or and Android device that does not maintain a file system. Without the file system the importing of photos becomes problematic.
When addressing Information Communication Technology (ICT) equity in our schools, I would like to think a combination of writing and inserting images would help promote technologies in locations of limited access. Image a chemistry class that has a camera and a computer. The class could post photos of the experiment in flickr under a joint account. The each student could send an image to their blog and write up the lab report using the class computer. That would provide equal access to each member if the class.
