Flickr and All That Comes With It!

Wow! I did not know how much there was out there that can be used with Flickr!  I love the idea that you can create your own books using the Bookr application.  This would be a great resource in the classroom!  I believe that in this era of such advanced technology, this could be a useful and motivational tool for students in a classroom!  Some ideas for use of this application are:

• Personal "All About Me" digital books for the beginning of the year (see example - it is not my best work, but it will do for an example of my vision!)
• Personalized digital storybooks for students who complete their writing before others: students can turn their writing into illustrated digital books that could be shared on a classroom blog
• Class storybooks for events, activities or important lessons in the classroom
• Books for use at a computer center that supplement instruction
• A class book that features each students and their strengths and goals for the year

Really, the possibilities are endless!  I find I will most likely use this type of application frequently in my classroom!
