I spent a few hours browsing Flickr to see if it had gained more educational groups than the last time I looked at learning and Flickr. I was sadden to see that there has not been a major increase in educational groups in flickr. I had hoped that composition teachers would have put together images for students’ writing. Maybe people do what I do and make their own list of images from Flickr. Maybe I am guilty as others in not giving back to Flickr what I have taken.
Also, if we all tag our images with educational terms, then others can search for them. At present, a search for educational terms ends with no images.
We have to be not only takers but also givers back. We can help build Flickr into an educational resource. Flickr can be a Web 2.0 tool.
Great blog. If you’re interested in expanding technology in the classroom, you may want to give audiobooks a try. Combined with print books, they are a great way to help reluctant and struggling readers. Maybe this could inspire some creative visions on flickr from the students. We’d love you to check out our blog and leave some feedback http://recordedbooks.wordpress.com. Mind if we add you to our blogroll?
