Flickr

Explain what flickr is





Pos+ and Neg+

Visual Literacy

Support low literacy students

Help engage students

Provides a great resource for students to use to support their information in assignments

Good for highlighting the importance of copyright and using images that are legal.

Tag Galaxy allows you to browse Flickr in 3D using a flash application. You can choose one photo and download it or you can screen capture all the photos on the globe to give you a collage of all the images that match the search. Can be used when introducing a new unit to give a visual snapshot of things related to it.

It recommeneded that Students don't access flickr directly it is advisable for the LM to download a variety of images that the learners can choose from. Threats that students may access inappropriate images.

Not all images are usable as some of them are copyright.

If you want to take a look follow the link to flickr and see for yourself better still why not try Tag Galaxy for a 3D perspective.
