Teachers connecting to teachers

Thing # 11

Filed under: Thing # 11 — Mrs. Stephens at 8:25 am on Monday, June 23, 2008



I feel like the past several years the students have been in Power Point world. Have any of us paid any attention to where we got the fabulous pictures we used in our (boring) PP shows?? I don’t think so. I feel so responsible now to teach and guide my students to use pictures responsibly. I really enjoyed searching through all the incredible photos. I would like to see our Geography Club utilize this site to study places around the world through the eyes of so many photographers. The grasp of setting in any novel can be enhanced as well. We read Julie of the Wolves in our class and I loved being able to “go to” Barrow, a key city in our setting.

I am also guilty of just copying and pasting pictures on Power Points without regard to copyrights. I like the idea of doing “virtual field trips” using pictures from Flickr. Students will have so much more of a connection if we can use pictures and create slide shows.
