Flicker Slideshow

Created with Admarket's flickrSLiDR.

Flicker is a really neat program. I think that students will enjoy using this program because it is really easy to use and also the finish product looks very professional. Flicker slideshow would be good when compiling pictures to tell a story in a fun and artistic way. I think the schools today need to come up with more ways to teach story telling in other ways that allows students to tell their own stories. It is a nice becuase each picture has a description box that allows you to describe the picture, but you need to click on the picture first. This is good because you don't need to read all the descriptions, and can pick and choose the pictures that you want further described. I think this program would be good to use for reading and writing subjects. You can teach writing through this program by teaching what information is important for each picture. You also need to teach the sequence of the story and the students can practice this with Flicker. There are so many ways to use this prgram. I do this that kids will want to read the descriptions because it is presented in a different medium. The kids will more likely want to read the descriptions because it is on a computer and not in a textbook. They love using new programs and this is an wonderful program because it is SO easy to use.

I feel really comfortable using this program. I think that it was easy to use and feel that all children can learn how to use this program quick and also work independantly once they learn the basics. I would like to use this program in the classroom because it involves reading and writing in a way that is fun for the kids. I think that they would like this program and will more likely want to do the assignments if they know they are using a computer. I also think that if kids are having fun with the assignments, they get more out of it, and will be life long learners. I think that this program is a good way to teach reading and writing in the classroom. I'm excitted to show others about this program.
