Online Photo sharing is a way that you can publish or transfer digital photos online. This ability is provided through different websites and applications that display the images. Photo sharing sites started during the mid to late 1990’s primarily for online ordering of prints. Some of the photo sharing sites provide complete online organization tools similar to a desktop photo management application. A desktop management application can include its own photo sharing features that have sites included for uploading images to them. There are even desktop applications that only share photos, generally using a peer to peer network. The web is not the only way you can share photos. A portable device such as a camera phone can transfer photos to different photo sharing websites and photo blogs, either directly or via MMS. There are a lot of uses for an online photo sharing like sharing vacation photos, posting pictures for blogs, ordering prints, and organizing your photos so you can find them easier. Teachers use online photo sharing to shoot and share photos of student activities, field trips, etc. Students and teachers can use it in projects and presentations; they can also now create slide shows for school library media center events to share on websites. Some really good sites that you can try out are Kodak gallery, Snap fish, Flickr, and Picasa. I think the method that teachers are taking with photo sharing is part of the connectivist theory learning because the students are learning in a network environment.
