This is something that I wanted to share on my blog because I am going to participate in this challenge at my school. This looks like such a great way to share photos and information on a secure site for parents and the community. Shutterfly is very similar to Flickr and it has proven to be a great tool for sharing and updating photos. I not only use this for photos of my students but also personal photos as well.
In this challenge, teachers are asked to create a Shutterfly site, which is a classroom share site where you can share ideas, calendars, schedules, photos, and also comments. This is a great way to get parents and teachers involved in a common project in your school that will promote technology integration, inform parents, share with the community, and also prove to be a great staff collaboration piece, AND you can earn money for your school. I thought that this would be a great resource to share because the share sites look very fun, interesting, and easy to put together. This is another way of making a great student, parent, teacher connection in your room. ENJOY!
I love Shutterfly! I use it all the to create photo books for my son. It is so easy to use. The site is super easy when it comes to uploading pictures. It has a great feature that will automatically put the pictures into a photo book for you.
ReplyDeleteWOW! Just thinking about using Shutterfly as a way to earn money for your school is awesome. I would love to know more about the Shutterfly site for classrooms. Do you find it on their home page?
