20. PART 3 – Flickr + CC
Here are two places you can go to search for CC
images on Flickr –

or, my personal fave –
• http://flickrcc.bluemountains.net
TASK –
Try a few searches and choose a photo that
represents you. Then figure out how to save it to
your computer. Remember to save the attribution
information as well!
21. PART 4 – Flickr in your
• There are heeeaaaaaps of sites out there that use Flickr photos for
one function or another. A couple of my favs are:
Spell With Flickr
Type in any word and it spells it with letter images from the Flickr
CC database - works with non-English words.
Tag Galaxy
Type in a search term and Tag Galaxy collects images into a sphere
that you can spin. You then click on each image to see larger
versions.
