Thing 7

Flickr is a great resource for sharing pictures with the class. In the past I have had students do presentations of their travels to Spanish-speaking countries or a cultural festivity they participated in. It would have been a lot easier to have them create an account and upload them on their own time. Then login from school to view them on the TV in class. Instead of me downloading and resizing the pictures to put in a powerpoint presentation.

The important part is making sure they understand the ramifications of publishing someone else's picture on public website. Students frequently think that if it is on the internet it is free for the taking.
