Week 3, #5, Flickr

The past two years, my sixth graders have been introduced to bighugelabs website. They saw a lot of potential for this. Last year's sixth graders used magazine cover for one of their Newberry Medal Winner unbookreports. Students learned all pixels are not created equal.
Originally when I viewed Flickr, I was thinking this is a great way for family to share photos with each other. So, more at a personal level rather than at an educational/library level.
There are some fantastic photographers out in the world.
A plan is forming in my head to explore flickr more. As posted by others this is a lot of fun.
The other thing I liked about this website is it takes the difficulty out of some of the projects. For example, a magazine cover, trading cards or a poster.
