Flickr

Flickr is an image and video hosting website. It allows people to upload their own images onto a web database for others to view an download. Peoples personal photographs are able to be shared and viewed by the public eye.

Images can be used for many purposes in the classroom context where students can be presented with images for different purposes.

Learning Managers can use images to evoke feelings from students to then influence their writing or other work. These pictures can be used as hook to engage students in a learning experience or a stimulus for learning.

Through the use of such still images there are many possibilities for rich learning, where students can create imaginative and creative work that would not be achieved without such digital tools.
