Bellini Gardens
Originally uploaded by brezcat99
I set up a flickr account and went searching for some photos. I found this and decided to upload it to my blogg. The question I would put to my students (If I had some) would be 'Where is the Bellini Gardens?'. Flickr has the potential to really direct students in putting faces to the names of places or subjects they are researching.
A teacher setting up a flickr account is potentially setting up a small hub on which students can share their pictures and their information with great simplicity. Student group learning collaborations can only benefit from this online sharing program.
With the addition of flickr to the many other online avenues of information, the days of sticking pictures onto cardboard and writing detailed captions below them are long left behind!

Hi
ReplyDeleteI like the question that you asked the students, it makes them stop, think, react and verbally talk about what they are seeing. Photos are a great way for us to engage or learners, sometimes in a good way and other will confront people ideas and notions.
I enjoyed your phot and wished I was there.
Till next time
