Thing #11

I think that Flickr is a great tool to enhance learning and student projects.  There are unlimited uses for this tool in the classroom.  When teaching a unit on habitats or ecosystems, students could each be assigned a different category to find pictures that would show their topic.  The pictures then could be combined to create a class presentation.  I chose the topic of Texas to search for images on Flickr.  These images could be used in a 4th grade research project to illustrate or help visualize different aspects of Texas.
