Thing #9

I LOVE Flickr! I have heard about it and have been intending for awhile to check it out but never really took the time. I will now begin to start using it personally and professionally. My dad left notebooks full of family history and photos which I have scanned for family members - what a great place to host and share these! There were some great ideas for classroom use of Flickr. Some of my favorites were for writing - especially the six word stories using 1 image and six words. What a great higher order thinking writing activity (which also goes along with the whole brevity issue I talked about in an earlier post.
This great picture was found on Flickr and was posted by ILoveButter and is called Technology Then and Now. The pictures I searched were geared toward technology and also included the ways technology has changed over the years. I thought this one was fun and could help show teachers that time does not stand still when it comes to teaching!
