When searching for implementing Flickr in a lesson in the classroom, I came across a site called Teachers Network that was for teachers by teachers. There were many lesson plan ideas and one such area was geared for using technology in the classroom. There was an article by a teacher about using Flickr in the classroom. The teacher wrote about how she used Flickr as a way for her students to create a project about the Russian Revolution. She had her students use Flickr to look up and analyze photos in relation to the topic and then had the student compile the photos found into a group page created on the Flickr site.
I believe that I would use Flickr in a similar way should I desire to use when I become an instructor. I believe I would create a lesson in which my students would use Flickr to look up photos that could demonstrate feelings and emotions as nonverbal communication. The lesson I would want the students to learn would be concerning learning that nonverbal communication is as important as verbal communication, and often even more important. I would probably create a group page, as this teacher did, to handle concerns regarding privacy and web exposure to the students as I intend on teaching students in 3rd grade or in lesser grades. I would want the children to search for pictures that could demonstrate a feeling or a need, using color, shapes, people or anything they can think of to demonstrate what they perceive as nonverbal communication. I believe that doing this will help my students to come together regardless of differences in speech or language.
