The Lights Are Flickring

We have made leaps in the numerous new online tools such as blogs, and wikis that have enabled us to connect with our students. Among these new tools are photo-sharing sites such as flickr that has remarkable potential for learning.

An obvious feature of Flickr is its imagery; it can be used to design lessons that support visual learning. Educators could use photographs to prompt creative or interpretive writing; this would be an amazing tool in art history. I was amazed to find that Flickr allows photos to be geotagged; you can actually take a photo of a historical site and place it on a world map. This would allow a class to take a virtual fieldtrip and become familiar with its geographical location. WOW!

The use of flickr and others like it can be advantageous in the classroom, creativity has no limits.
