While I was reading this chapter I immediately thought of Parent/Teacher night. When ever they come around teachers always want to show parents what has been going on in the classroom, but it is very difficult to prepare a presentation and often times parents only see the work that student have been working on that day or week before the conference. However, FLICKR would allow me to collect pictures from an entire semester and show parents what the students have been working on in that way. It would give me a chance to show off my activities that I carry on a day to day basis, and show student interaction.
Using FLICKR can also help me in creating student-centered assignments. For example If I were teaching a lesson on state capitals. I could have students find photos of all the state capitals and display and annotate them using FLICKR. This would help many different students because it would utilize many different intelligences such as spatial and linguistic.
