Thing 7 - Flickr

Flickr is a wonderful site with endless possibilities! I signed up (luckily through the new gmail option!) with the hope to incorporate it some way in my classroom this year. I can think quickly that "a picture is worth a thousand words" would be a great writing prompt for descriptive writing. Or, have the students find a picture of something that they are studying in Science and have them annotate facts. Another thought would be after reading a biography, annotate an image of this person with facts for presentation.
