Flickr

​ Go to [] to view my "classroom" page I made on Flickr. My vision behind this was that Flickr would serve as my future classroom's own virtual tour center. All students would be able to join for free and see eachother's uploads from summer vacations, etc. I would upload my experiences as well. Lessons in Social Studies, Writing, Science and others can be sparked from sharing and extending on these experiences. Another set (album) I would create would be a catch-all Year in Review album. Here I would take pictures throuhout the year of the class working on various projects, participating in extra-curricular activities, playing on a sports team, and day-to-day shots to compile as our own class "yearbook." Students would be able to comment on and post (appropriate) pictures all throughout the year.

OTHER UNIQUE FEATURES OF FLICKR
 * Map feature allows students to pin-point on the Class Map where their photos were taken
 * Opportunity to link with students all over the world to share vacation experiences
 * Strengthens the students' sense of community in the classroom by sharing personal experiences

Great way to document your school year and remember past students!-Kristi Scott
