Flickr my lessons
Instead of searching images in google, I now have a new place to find images. I find images for my students to understand vocabulary words and concepts of each lesson. They love looking at the pictures and it helps them to understand the real meaning of the vocabulary words. The Pearson Reading series are giving the students a variety of vocabulary words that they don't use anymore. I can go to Flickr and only find the photos I really can use instead of going through different images from different sites. I visited Teacher Dude's blog for teaching vocabulary. He used a slide show with the different vocabulary words for walk. I can see using it to help the students different ways to walk. The transitions on the slide is eye catching and the words are located at the bottom of each slide. I could see using this type of slide to show pictures that go with the vocabulary word. For this photo, if their vocabulary word was Mantaee, I would show this picture of a manatee.

You are right Flickr does allow fo ryou to manage certain photos and allows you to place them where needed so that you can teach them what you need instead of having to locate photos from different sites. When it comes to teaching vocabluary it seem like there is a gravitation towards using photos to teach it along with the use of words.
ReplyDeleteYou are so right about Flickr being a better option than Google for finding quality images. The Flickr community has evolved into a very helpful place for educators to find images that are of good quality and that are legal for classroom use. I do wish that Yahoo would either add more features or sell it to someone who will be more innovative.
