For Jim's Students > How to Use Flickr

We're using Flickr to share our photographs.

The following privacy settings have been set for our Flickr website.

Caution

I check the above privacy settings at the beginning of a class.

I don't monitor the privacy settings during class.

Because the other students have the Yahoo! ID and password, they could change the privacy settings.

Another student could also distribute the web address of the Flickr website, as well as the Yahoo! ID and password, to anyone.

Therefore, your photographs could become available to the public should a student change the privacy settings or distribute the web address, the Yahoo! ID, and the password.

Post photographs to the Flickr website with the understanding that the photographs could become public.

Community Guidelines

Observe the Flickr Community Guidelines, including no uploading of any nudes of minors.

A nude photograph is defined here as a photograph that depicts the genital region, buttocks, and female breasts.

After Class Ends

All photographs are deleted at the end of the class.

AOL Users Only

AOL 9.0 uses the AOL TopSpeed technology to speed up browsing.

Under the AOL Keyword: Browser Settings, there is a section called Web Graphics.

For Flickr to display properly, the Never compress graphics option must be selected, which is not the default option.

Close AOL and log on again.
