Flickr

I enjoy flickr and have used it occasionally in the past to post pictures for friends and family to see, however, I am actually not sure how I would use it in the classroom. There may be occasions where I would put pictures on to show my kids maybe of my dog, or of some place that we might be talking about. Maybe if we wanted to put together an additional unit like Fibonacci numbers we could get some photos and collect them there.

I might also be able to use it to post a specific problem. If I were to do the problem and then take a picture of it I could make a link to Flickr so that students could see my example.

If I had the time and wanted my kids to simply use the technology for themselves I might have them create their own "slide show" introducing themselves and their families perhaps.

I will be interested to see how other people are thinking about using flickr in the classroom! Maybe some new ideas will come to me.
