Thing Seven
I think one of the biggest ways I might use Flikr in the classroom
is to upload pictures of student work or students during classroom activities.
These could then be placed into newsletters, blogs, websites, etc. for parents,
communities, or any interested parties to view.I think it could also be a good way of my posting pictures for students to view and respond for assignments, whether written or blogs. The possibilities are almost endless.
Issues I might face? I could find it difficult to come across
photos in the area I want to use that are not copyrighted. That is partly what
I ran up against with the time element in Thing Six; I was looking for
something specific, and most of what I wanted was under the head of
"Rights Reserved." Time is certainly not an element of which I have
an overabundance.
If you like to have your students do a lot of responding you might be interested in having a Moodle course. I remember carrying big heavy bags of journals home to read through evenings and weekends. Now it can all be done online, posting a prompt, video, picture, having them respond, and then commenting back to them, either through a class forum where all can share in the discussion or as a simple, teacher-student only interaction.
