Chapter 7
Fun With Flicker
Creating, Publishing, and Using Images Online
Reflection: Random thoughts the author has inspired…
This chapter for me produces a plethora of ideas that I can use in the classroom. In the area of Social Studies, the students can create digital picture walk of each continent; we study throughout the year. Students can download pictures of what they did during summer vacation, winter break, and spring vacation and write about their experiences. Students also can create albums of school work, field trips, projects, and create slide shows that will enhance organization of these photos. Just think, students can photograph items in nature and create digital poetry albums!
Another unique aspect would be for students to learn the importance of becoming a primary source. What a perfect opportunity for students to document what goes on in their own community? They can document through pictures; all holidays, Patriot Place and the Stadium, Founders Day, and not to mention Hurricane Irene. How about those beautiful Northeastern Blizzards? What else do our students have to do when we have no school; I’m sure that they are not shoveling their parents’ driveway! The possibilities are endless. Not to mention that with each picture; they have a wonderful opportunity to describe and document what is going on in each photo. They will ultimatly be practicing their writing skills without even knowing it!
Obviously, the possibilities are endless to help motivate my students to observe life through a lens. After all, a picture paints a thousand words.
