My reflection

The first thing I need to say " Thank you everyone about this time learning,especially Jing and Leigh ."
This is my first time I learned by using blog ,The first thing I learned about the responsibility to keep the blog up to date , because if the blog not up to date ,it'll not interesting for the audiences .I'm very thank you Leigh very much​,she help and warning me about blog update so I learned from this case "please up to date your blog"
The next I learned from the others blog about the "differentiation of blog" This time learning I will thank you miss Wilairat ,Because her blog is so differentiate and observable.She chainned many situations with one main point "wikis" .when I read her blog I feel I read the fantastic fairy tales .I saw many people like it,it's so fantastic. This case I learned "Differentiate or die"
I learned about the relation between users ,if we have nice relation they will commented more than one opinion So if we need to make our own blogs more interesting we will need to interest the others blog first .It's like everyday we collecting the coin.In fact if Jing and Leigh not order everyone to comment the others we will see the real situations and try to make own blog more popular and interesting.
Lastly ,I need to Thank you my colleagues Ms. Wilairat and Ms. Benjamas who teach me about how to think and create the interesting blog . Every sharing,every posting Ithank you everyone. I hope we'll have time to attend the next together.
Thank you

Lastly with Flickr


This time I will let you see a model from teacher who use flickr in the classroom

Using flickr.com in the Classroom
Pamela AuCoin

Thankfully, the days of tediously cutting out pages from magazines and newspapers are over. Google and Yahoo image searches, as well as flickr, have rich databases of photographs, illustrations, and other images with the click of your mouse.

My favorite photosharing database is flickr (flickr.com). Any one can share their own work. It is also a place to view and download pictures in the "creative commons." Students can upload their own original and/or found work from google image searches.

If you want to use flickr in the classroom, I recommend you create your own class account. This makes it easy for you and your students to access their work. It will also give you the option of keeping your work private. This will alleviate parental concerns about cyber-exposure.

Here’s an example of how I use flickr in my classroom: I had students search for images for a Soviet propaganda project. They were able to find some images on flickr, but not as many as they would have liked. I instructed them to do Google image searches and then upload their work onto our flickr group page.

Flickr is not only a great place to find images, it invites student collaboration and participation. Students can embed comments on the image itself. This is where the students do some real analysis--they can add text in the image, using either the notes or description features.

For my "Propaganda during the Russian Revolution" project, students had to analyze how the propagandists used color and slogans to get their messages across. For example, some wrote about how the Bolshevik workers looked strong and handsome, whereas the capitalists looked fat and lazy. For another activity, students created dialogues for the characters, making it even more interactive.

I spoke with some of my colleagues and they shared how flickr could work in their subject area. Math teacher John Campanella mentioned how an image, such as a four leaf clover, could be used to teach symmetry. Chemistry teacher Tom Cork mentioned using images to illustrate how polar compounds dissolve into other polar compounds. As a homework assignment, students could analyze images of a man and a woman on a date and to write about how this photo explains the concept.

The steps:

1. Get a flickr account and create your own class page.

2. Instruct students to get their own flickr accounts. Get your students' flickr email addresses, and send their invitations to join your site. I keep my page private, to keep outsiders away. Students will then get their own accounts, and accept the invitation.

3. Begin by uploading pictures on your flickr group page. Once you model this skill to the students, they usually catch on very quickly. Show them how to embed comments. Once they click to enlarge an image, they can click on the "add note" tab. Then write your sample comment. Model how to embed comments.

4. Give them specific guidelines for commenting. I tell them to brainstorm ideas in their groups first, so only the best ideas get embedded on the pictures. Once they’ve done this they can type them in. Some sample comments: "Red is the dominant color in the poster, which represents communism," or "Notice how the farm looks like a fairy tale. The bright colors make collectivism look utopian."

5. Project sharing: I like to have different groups share their work. Students can view other group work and add comments in the box below. I like them to add their own ideas, if they think there are any key points that have been left out.

6. Connecting to the content: Students should relate their work to the content. They should understand that propaganda was a tool for the Bolsheviks to gain mass support and encourage them to keep fighting against the "evil" bourgeoisie.



Before using flickr in the classroom

Before we use flickr please check below instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Flickr account
  • Computer, or computer lab classroom
  • Projector and screen
  • Digital camera, optional
  1. Create a Flickr account. To use Flickr interactively in the classroom, you and participating students will need to create a free user account. If you intend to upload photos, you can also create groups and select who will have access to these photos. Take your students' privacy and other rules in your district into consideration.

  2. Prepare classroom and reserve resources. If you are planning to use Flickr during a teaching presentation in your classroom, you will need a computer with Internet access, as well as a projector and screen so that students can view a larger version. Depending on your school's technology resources, your classroom may already be fitted for this or you may have to request use of this equipment in advance. If you are planning to use Flickr for an assignment or activity, students will need access to computers.

  3. Develop lessons and activities using Flickr. For creative writing exercises, choose photos on Flickr and have students select one to use as a writing prompt. For photo journalism projects, have students photograph people or places in the community and write captions. In a history or language class, use the Flickr map feature to allow students to view photos in specific geographical locations and discuss. For vocabulary lessons, have students work in groups to take pictures that define the week's vocabulary words; then edit them to add definitions and upload to Flickr for the class to use as a study guide.

  4. Use the Commons. Flickr's Commons started in 2008, in cooperation with the Library of Congress, with the goal of increasing access to publicly-held photos, as well as provide a way for the general public to contribute knowledge. The collection features hidden treasures in the world's public photography archives and participating institutions include NASA, Library of Congress and the Smithsonian Institute. This selection of historical photos presents a valuable resource for teachers. Access these photos for use in lectures, handouts and presentations. These photos can also be used in activities and teach students about laws surrounding the Creative Commons License.

  5. Share your work. Not only can Flickr be used in assignments, but it can also be used to showcase student work. Take pictures of classroom activities, projects and creations to share with other educators, classes or parents. Flickr can also be incorporated into classroom blogs and create slide shows. Tag your photos in Flickr with identifiers such as "Flickr in the Classroom" so other educators can find them.

Share your photos and watch the world!!!


As designers we are always looking for new ways to get inspiration. For many this means going through magazines, books or even going places, always looking for that special something which will spark some creativity. Whatever that something is, it isn't always easy to find.
flickr
is an image hosting and video hosting website, web services suite, and online communitycreated by Ludicorp and later acquired by Yahoo!. In addition to being a popular website for users to share and embed personal photographs, the service is widely used by bloggers to host images that they embed in blogs and social media.In September 2010, it reported that it was hosting more than 5 billion images.

Wow! it's everything on ebay


Millions of collectibles, decor, appliances, computers, furnishings, equipment, vehicles, and other miscellaneous items are listed, bought, or sold daily. In 2005,eBay launched its Business & Industrial category, breaking into the industrial surplus business. Generally, anything can be auctioned on the site as long as it is not illegal and does not violate the eBay Prohibited and Restricted Items policy.You can search for the new or used ,rare or antique items you want. This ebay can offer all items we need,So let's try it . In my experience I had one time bidding for a nbrand new electronic home theatre .In Thailand the price is over 1000us dollars but I bought from ebay just only700us dollars . I learned from this case we need more responsibilities and pay attention to the Item we need, because there are many buyers need it too.It's look like in our classroom ,we need to present many interesting assignment to our students .we make them feel oh it's very exiting if they can do it in the first time . So we can learn from everything.lastly I have a good sentence for you it's say by my world record teacher (Holly Chen from Taiwan)" normal person learn from smart person, smart person learn from intelligent person but intelligence person learn from everyone and everything" So what did you learned from this article? please sharing your ideas.

Learning from history


The online auction website was founded as AuctionWeb in San Jose, California, on September 3, 1995, by French-born Iranian computer programmer Pierre Omidyar as part of a larger personal site that included, among other things, Omidyar's own tongue-in-cheek tribute to the Ebola virus.One of the first items sold on eBay was a broken laser pointer for $14.83. Astonished, Omidyar contacted the winning bidder to ask if he understood that the laser pointer was broken. In his responding email, the buyer explained: "I'm a collector of broken laser pointers."The frequently repeated story that eBay was founded to help Omidyar's fiancée trade Pez candy dispensers was fabricated by a public relations manager in 1997 to interest the media. This was revealed in Adam Cohen's 2002 book, The Perfect Store, and confirmed by eBay.
Chris Agarpao was hired as eBay's first employee and
Jeffrey Skoll was hired as the first president of the company in early 1996. In November 1996, eBay entered into its first third-party licensing deal, with a company called Electronic Travel Auction to use SmartMarket Technology to sell plane tickets and other travel products. Growth was phenomenal; in January 1997 the site hosted 2,000,000 auctions, compared with 250,000 during the whole of 1996.The company officially changed the name of its service from AuctionWeb to eBay in September 1997. Originally, the site belonged to Echo Bay Technology Group, Omidyar's consulting firm. Omidyar had tried to register the domain name echobay.com, but found it already taken by the Echo Bay Mines, a gold mining company, so he shortened it to his second choice, eBay.com.(Echobay.com is now owned by Echobay Partners, Ltd., a private equity firm based in Nevis.)
In 1997, the company received $6.7 million in funding from the venture capital firm
Benchmark Capital.
Meg Whitman was hired as eBay President and CEO in March 1998. At the time, the company had 30 employees half a million users and revenues of $4.7 million in the United States.eBay went public on September 21, 1998,and both Omidyar and Skoll became instant billionaires. eBay's target share price of $18 was all but ignored as the price went to $53.50 on the first day of trading.
As the company expanded product categories beyond collectibles into almost any saleable item, business grew quickly.In February 2002, the company purchased
IBazar, a similar European auction web site founded in 1995 and then bought PayPal on October 14, 2002.
In early 2008, the company had expanded worldwide, counted hundreds of millions of registered users, 15,000+ employees and revenues of almost $7.7 billion.
[11] After nearly ten years at eBay, Whitman made the decision to enter politics. On January 23, 2008 the company announced that Whitman would step down on March 31, 2008 and John Donahoe was selected to become President and CEO.Whitman remained on the Board of Directors and continued to advise Donahoe through 2008. In late 2009, eBay completed the sale of Skype for $2.75 Billion, but will still own 30% equity in the company.
In July 2010, eBay was sued for $3.8 billion by XPRT Ventures which accused eBay of stealing information shared in confidence by the inventors on XPRT's own patents, and incorporated it into features in its own payment systems, such as PayPal Pay Later and PayPal Buyer Credit.

What did you learn from eBay history ,please share your ideas?

Let's rock with eBay!

What is eBay?


eBay Inc. is an American Internet company that manages eBay.com, an online auction and shopping website in which people and businesses buy and sell a broad variety of goods and services worldwide. Founded in 1995, eBay is one of the notable success stories of the dot-com bubble; it is now a multi-billion dollar business with operations localized in over thirty countries. eBay expanded from its original "set-time" auction format to include "Buy It Now" standard shopping; shopping by UPC, ISBN, or other kind of SKU (via Half.com); online classified advertisements (via Kijiji or eBay Classifieds); online event ticket trading (viaStubHub); online money transfers (via PayPal) and other services.
over 15 years over billion dollars,that's sound incredible!!!
