FLICKR TAG SEMANTICS

FLICKR GAMES

Fastr - http://randomchaos.com/games/fastr/

Guess the tag in English, Dutch, Spanish, French. Play against groups. Built in chat.

Matchr - http://photomesh.cs.northwestern.edu/matchr/puzzle.php

Concentration style game - select photos with matching tags

Airtight Interactive Type in a term, see images related to term and related ideas

http://www.airtightinteractive.com/projects/related_tag_browser/app/

Tagnautica shows associated tags and images http://www.quasimondo.com/tagnautica.php

AIRTIGHT INTERACTIVE TAGNAUTICA

Flickr clustering allows for clustering of ideas so that “bill” can be clustered in numerous ways. Type in the tag and then click on cluster http://flickr.com/photos/tags/bill/clusters

This can be a great educational game for young students. You think of a tag like ice for your science unit and then you ask the students to list all the related tags (categories) that they can think of. Then type “ice” into one of the above and compare the tags to the students. Have the students determine which are science categories and which are non-scientific categories. This type of inference thinking helps to broaden the students’ thinking and helps them to think in terms of connections instead of one isolated term. They have to compare and contrast tags.

Flickr Storm

It works by looking for more than what you enter to find related and more relevant images. http://www.zoo-m.com/flickr-storm/

FLICKR FUN

Captions and Comics!

http://shadydentist.com/captioner/

-Able to add captions to your flickr photo. Useful when making a comic strip. You just enter the URL of the photo you wish to caption. I assume if you create a mosaic, you could then create a comic strip. You would then have to save the image and re-upload it into flickr.

Add dialogue bubbles to images and comic strips

http://www.pimpampum.net/bubblr/

Mosaic Maker

http://flagrantdisregard.com/flickr/mosaic.php

- Really easy to use. You just choose where you photos will come from, it doesn’t

have to be flickr. Then choose the shape, style and size of your mosaic.

Spell with Flickr!

http://metaatem.net/words

-Type in the word of your choice and see it spelled using photos of letters on flickr. The letters are chosen at random, but can be changed by clicking on them.
