This past week, Flickr announced you can order prints to be delivered by mail, or pick them up at your local Target store for one hour printing. In addition to prints, you can also order posters and books made from your Flickr images via QOOP. stamps from Zazzle and DVD image backups from Englaze. I just made a poster with QOOP and it looks pretty nice. Now I need to do a better job of tagging my images so I can easily create posters and books based on tags...
I am very interested in the book making part of this. I am thinking we could use it to easily create books to document school and classroom events, field trips and classroom and school procedures. Am thinking a teacher could create a visual guide for substitute teachers, with text and images to explain classroom procedures and such. By arranging the images in sets in Flickr, adding appropriate descriptions and ordering the images in the proper sequence, you could create all guides of guides and manuals of school procedures and processes. I wonder if there is any mechanism for gathering the note information that can be embedded in Flickr images? I guess I'll need to play around with this a bit more...
