I found this app very interesting because if you type in a tag for
instance 'beach' as an initial tag, the universe design show lots of planets
with pictures tagged with 'beach'. Pictures from the website Flikr which shared
pictures are used to create these planets. The design of having the
pictures shown on planets made me feel that these pictures really connect us a
species, we share our own pictures and memories for others to see. The pictures
sometimes have a preview of what the person that posted the picture put as a
caption which I also find to be a good feature because it adds the personal
touch from the author who may explain why they took the picture.
This could be used in education by asking children to post their own
pictures on Flikr taken of their favourite toy or place for example and share
it with the same tag as the rest of the class. They can then put the tag in the
search bar and look at everyone’s picture and see all of their pictures put
together as a kind of collage. This is a good way of showing children how
information can be shared.
