Thing 8-Playing with Flicker

Well, rest of day spent playing. I can see how one can not only get lost with the gadgets and gizmos, superfluous and minutia; but once all of that fun has been had, there are some real teachable moments here for Art teachers and non-Art teachers . As I stated earlier, Flickr is great for teaching Enduring Understandings through visual imagery. How perfect for introducing big concepts, and making real connections. All students can use what they see here to begin a dialoge visually and through the written word. What better way to evaluate asimilation and synthesis of knowledge? Having said that, I am only at Thing 8--I am guessing there may be a few things I have to learn.
