A Picture…A picture is worth a thousand words is a proverb that refers to the idea that complex stories can be described with just a single still image, or that an image may be more influential than a substantial amount of text.

What’s so great about organization?

Flickr’s Organizer = Collections and Sets.

Sets Grouping of photos and videos that you can organize around a certain theme, such as Fishing. Use theme to highlight your favorite photos and videos, or make an album that is only pictures of your

dog, or of photos and videos you've taken with a particular camera.

Collections Grouping of Sets (or other Collections) so you can organize around grander themes, such as

People, Travels, or by year (2007, 2006, etc).

How can flickr and photobucket be used in the classroom?

Every photograph can tell a story. Students can create stories by:

Social Studies creating a slideshow on a recent trip. Use the map feature. Using pictures from around the world illustrate the day in-life of a kid your

age from 3 other countries.

English using the photo library or your own images pick a theme (ie- fishing) and

create a story about what you see in the pictures individually and collectively. Using pictures illustrate your favorite book.

Science Using the photo library or your own images illustrate the 4 seasons, planets, 5

senses.

How can flickr and photobucket be used in the classroom?

Here is my story: …..As the sun rose on that early July morning the kids at Camp

Idema woke with huge anticipation to catch Big Earl. Big Earl was the largest, meanest, ugliest fish in all of Lake Thunder. There were many fishing stories told around the campfire about this creature. An award was posted for $500 Big Earl’s head. From the littlest camper to the biggest camper they set of from the docks to try to catch this beast of a fish.

One by one they came back after a long hot day of fishing. Only to sit around the campfire and tell there own story of how they hooked Big Earl but he got away. Until next year.
