I searched for lesson plans about incorporating Flickr into the elementary classroom. I came across a great idea that I would use in my classroom. I would love to use this tool to share with fellow teachers projects that my students made. I am thinking about could Kindergartners learn how to upload, etc. I think so, am I ready for that is the better question. It is crazy to think about that but yes they could do it. I guess I would first like to use it myself and try sharing with other teachers in my district. If that goes well then I think I will introduce it to students because I could see them uploading pictures of a project that they created and then tagging and/or writing descriptions about that picture for a writing component. I am liking the way this is sounding even more when thinking about it. So many new and good ideas I feel overwhelmed with wanting to try and use them all. I would like to try this out because students would be excited. If they do have Internet access at home they could show off their work. How neat is that. I, as the teacher, like that they are creating something, using technology and writing skills all in one easy assignment. Ready to give this a try!
