I have always had a problem with keeping and organizing my photos. Because my husband is in IT, we've had dozens of computers coming in and out of my house. As a result, once a computer's hard drive goes, so do my pictures. I've learned to back them up on a zip drive, however, storing them on the internet is also an excellent option. Now that I see how easy it can be, I can't wait to upload more. I noticed that there is a coupon code for 30% off of creating a photobook. I have a friend who creates these and they are a wonderful remembrance of the special event. I plan to upload the pictures of my daughter's 7th birthday and create a photobook with them.
Not only will I be able to use Flickr for my own personal reasons, but I see how it can be utilized very effectively in the classroom. Since I teach all subjects, I've outline one way in which I can use Flickr for each subject area.
L.A.-Show an image and have it be the impetus for a writing prompt.
Math-Show an image and have the students create a word problem based upon what they see in the picture.
Science-Show a picture of a lightbulb to explain the different parts during our light and electricity unit.
Social Studies-During our culture studies of Japan and Kenya, I can show pictures of actual people, landforms, etc. from that culture.
