Week 8 Flickr

Collection of My Photos from Berlin Summer 2014 via Flickr https://www.flickr.com/photos/132177019@N08/ This Weeks topic was based around visual social media. We had no face to face lab this week and instead it was an E-Lab. This week we had to display our own set of pictures on a flickr account. The instructions via blackboard asked us to make a flickr account. Flickr is a photo sharing social media site where people can share their photos. It is a fun way to show people pictures of things they have never seen before like famous buildings or monuments for example. Above is the link to the range of photos I uploaded on to my flickr account. They show a few of the old buildings from Berlin. Below is the link to which you can set up your own flickr account. All you have to do is follow the instructions and you will then be able to upload your own photos. You also need to set up a Yahoo Account. 1. Create a Yahoo account if you don’t already have one. 2. Next, sign in to Flickr using your Yahoo account: 3. Choose some photos from your desktop to upload, or alternatively do an ‘Advanced Image Search’ using Google, and select, ‘free to use or share’ beside the, ‘Usage Rights’ option and download some photos to your desktop.

Week 7 Mash Up

Heritage Oak Trees of Ireland This weeks Topic was based around combining social media to create new services. These services are known as Mash-Ups. This weeks lab was a face to face lab which took place in Newstead once again. At the beginning of the class, Shane once again went through the steps into creating your own Mash-Up. Today, I did an exercise on how to create my own Mash Up. I was given instructions via a PDF File on how to create the Mash Up. It is Titled "Heritage Oak Trees of Ireland". It is a map showing all the different places in Ireland where these places are located. This is the first Mash Up I have created. Below is the link to the Mash Up Website. It provides you with a wide range of instructions on how to create your own Mash Up. http://libguides.ucd.ie/findingmaps/makegooglemap This one in particular is used for maps. The Mash Up I created is listed above.
