I was on and saw a tweet from alerting me to a new created by . I love Flickr's group feature and I love so kudos to Karen for having the brilliant idea of putting them together. It's always a challenge finding content that is copyright friendly and Karen has given us a solution.
You can already choose to import directly from Flickr in VT, however at the moment, you can't import from a set that's not your own. You'll have to grab the link in Flickr then use the URL button in VT to import it.

Thanks for posting. I missed the tweet and have a bunch of photos that I just shared. This will be a great resource!
I believe that there are a number of websites out there that already have this sort of set-up. The first that comes to mind is the Pics4learning website.
Hmmmmm, I feel a post coming on...gotta run.
I'm sorry but I can't seem to upload to voicethread using your directions to get the URL. I keep getting the message "Text and HTML files are not supported". Do you have any suggestions. I went to the creative commons flickr group for voicethread and tried to upload one of the photos. Any help would be appreciated.

Make sure you right-click on the image to grab the image location. Don't grab the URL in the browser window. See if that works.
The URL should look like this:

Not this:

Thanks, Lee. That worked. Yeah!!!!I have a Mac and and don't use a mouse but did have a wireless mouse- so got that out. I know I can right click with my mac but don't remember which keys to hit. Well thanks so much for this information and the link to the flickr group.
