Thing 11 – Flickr Fun
I have have a fun experience investigating Flickr. I am still discovering pictures and videos that I would like to consider using in class. Being a visual learner myself, I think I should be able to use Flickr to reinforce some of the history lessons I plan to use.
I have decided to use ” Music as a Global Language” as my theme. Everyone around the world is drawn to music for practically every aspect of their life. Music is used for the happiest of times as well as the saddest. You are not only subjected to music at concerts but also in your car ( or someone else’s if it’s loud enough), in commercials, in grocery stores and even in a parking lot.

People may not be able to read and /or speak every language in the world but they can and do come together by either listening to or reading music.
I would like to be able to also encourage my students to look at music in this way.

Flickr wasn’t so fun-but I am not a visual learner. I will have to make more of an effort to present things visually for my students. I like your theme and when you have worked it up, I’ll see how I can use it in my World Cultures class! (Either the idea, the music, the pictures or all of it! You get all the credit, of course.)
I appreciate your positive attitude on all of this. I find much of this to be rather frustrating and very time consuming. But, perhaps it is just because I am a reader and would rather spend my time reading essays on the issues I am concerned about–and not using the technology available. I have to learn to do it all!
I really like your comment about people coming together.
