Thing #5

I love flickr. I particularly love that if you download their software that you can save even more pictures using their free site than paying for it. I have to say, though, that I never thought about using flickr as an image search tool for my students. Since I am a middle school librarian, my students do a project where they have to complete a unit on a country like Greece...the foods, art, weather, architecture, economy...you name it. Wow...when I typed in Greece and saw the pictures these lucky people took, not only was I jealous, but I am planning my trip as we speak. I cannot wait to share this with the kids (if it's not already filtered).
