SWOT analysis for using Flickr in teaching and learning


Flicker is a free online website for hosting pictures. It allows photo sharing. People who want to share photos with their friends and family can upload photos to flicker and share the links with them. People also can comment on their friends photos. Photos from Flicker can be linked to social media websites directly.
In can be used in teaching where there are a lot of photos to be used in class. This photos can be uploaded into Flicker and students use them, where needed. Art work of other can be used from Flicker in teaching in children.
The problem with flicker is that anyone can upload any type of photos. So, there will be inappropriate photos and copy righted photos. So teachers must be careful when teaching students on how to use Flicker.
