">Flickr is an experience that could easily take many hours of each day! What an exciting way to share places and spaces. I really like the geotagging feature. This quickly allows you to see places around the world and a variety of sites within each. Sometimes ones that don't belong get in there during the map search, and that is just a good reminder that with any social site the viewer can't put 100% faith in what they see. I also ran into some trouble using the add image to post feature of Blogger.
This photo is found at http://www.flickr.com/photos/ericinsf/22519250/. It reminds me of my time in New Zealand neary 4 years ago. This fern represents new life, new beginnings, and growth. It is found in many Maori carvings.
Teachers will enjoy the tag search feature. You could create a lesson comparing McDonald's around the world. Math teachers could easily use this to explore geometric shapes. Students could also gather photos for a project and share them easily by having a group created for the class. There's a lot of potential for digital storytelling using images. As always, having students credit the source remains a struggle. A media specialist in the school can help guide this process.
