Flickr Slide Show


Created with Admarket's flickrSLiDR.

I like this tool because I think it could be successfully used in classrooms of all ages. For the younger kids you could have them take the photos and you could set everything up. Or you could have them help you organize the "story" by using Elmo to project the program to the entire class. Then you could play your slide show for the whole class to see. The older students could use this program on their own (with some instruction) to tell a story, explain steps in a science experiment, or even just be creative with in art class.

I feel very comfortable with this project as it is pretty much self explanatory. I really like that it is so easy to organize your photos within the set so they are all in order for the slide show when you are finish. The only thing I can see going wrong with this project is that students might go overboard (like I did) with too many pictures.
