Hello ladies and gents and welcome to the 2020 Spring Student Blogging Challenge! This weeks challenge is all about having fun with photos! I’ve decided to show examples of photos that I created and belong to me as well as show what it means to use Creative Commons images in an activity below!
In the slideshow’s below there are a series of images that represent a fact about me. The first slideshow is compiled of photos that I took and belong to me. The second is a series of Creative Commons images, specifically from the edublogs plugin, Pixabay.

HI Ciara —
My name is Teri, and I’m a volunteer commentor for this student blogging challenge.
I love your vacation photos! Did you take those yourself? Very professional looking — well done! I do enjoy summer, but it gets awfully hot and humid in Ohio. I prefer the seasons of Fall and Spring, but definitely enjoy the summer nights after the sun has set. Hawaii is my absolute vacation spot though, and I’ve been to Kaanapali many times. I think the Trade Winds makes Hawaii the ideal vacation place. I wish I could figure out how to make the Trade Winds come to Ohio. I’ve never been to Italy. What was your favorite place to visit in Italy? Did you get to visit the Vatican? If I ever get to Italy, I definitely want to see the Vatican.
Was it hard to make your pictures into a slideshow for your blog? I know absolutely nothing about blogs or blogging, so I’m definitely impressed with what you’ve done with your blog. Keep up the good work!

Hi Teri,
For starters, I did take those photos myself. I’ve really worked hard on improving my photo skills over that past year or so and I can’t say it hasn’t payed off. I’ve never been to Ohio but I can imagine it being quite humid in the summer. Here in BC we get rain, rain, and more rain so when summer comes around I like to make the most of it!
When I travelled to Italy last summer I unfortunately didn’t get to see the Vatican. I went there with my soccer team for a tournament in San Marino which is it’s own country surrounded by Northern Italy, close to Rimini. I also absolutely love Hawaii. Ive been to Maui three times and Kaanapali is one of my favourite places on the island. The Trade Winds really do make the vacation that much better.
I’ve been blogging for about a year and a half now and I’ve certainly learned all sorts of tricks to make my blog that much better. Adding slideshows isn’t difficult at all, especially MetaSlider!
Thanks for the comment Teri!
