This is a picture showing large clouds over a city. The theme I chose is weather/clouds. I have used Google images to download and copy pictures, but this is my first experience using Flicker. It is a great tool for students to use to upoad their pictures and download pictures from other people for assignments. This has a great collection of images like a library. I conducted a search using diasters and a collection of pictures were displayed. I would use Flicker in all subject areas. I would use it to allow students to create visual stories using pictures instead of text to tell them. Other students could get in groups and try to develop a story from the pictures. Students could also use pictures that match words and the list goes on. I don't know if I would use Flicker in my personal life as much as I would in the classroom. I would probably stick with the old fashioned way of using photo albums. In the classroom, students would love searching in groups to locate photos for their assignments or projects. I would definitely utilize Flicker as a classroom teacher.
