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.
