After searching the web for lesson plans using flickr, I actually came up with an idea for incorporating flickr into my classroom immediately. Next week, we will begin a Social Studies project about First Nation people. One component of the project, after research, will be to create habitats for different tribes. Another component will be to find photos of First Nation people, using flickr, and create a story based on the image. Students will receive a brief introduction to flickr and will learn how to login to our classroom account. After finding the photos, we will then, as a class, combine all of the stories with the images and create either a digital photo album displaying each piece or a blog with each student contributing their information. I’m actually leaning towards the blog since I want them to get into the habit of blogging so that they will remember to work on our classroom blog.
Flickr is a great tool that my kids will enjoy. Because I try to incorporate different types of media into our classroom, flickr will prove to be a key asset in developing our projects.
