I would like to create a lesson using FlickR for my classroom for Science by gathering pictures about natural historical landmarks that show signs of weathering and erosion for the students to use to create a trifold publication to show what weathering and erosion is doing to these landmarks and what is being done to preserve the landmarks.

There were also some good free sites trying to start a blog to create lessons by the month. I found this lesson that could be adapted to your class. http://www.interfacemagazine.co.nz/lesson_plans.cfm - click on my BL5 title to get to this site. I am still learning about all of our new Web 2.0 tools and trying different things with them.

Here is another specific site: http://www.interfacemagazine.co.nz/downloads/INTERFACE%20Lesson%20Plan%2042%20-%20Five%20Card%20Flickr%20Story.pdf

Free tools if you go to this site: http://www.interfacemagazine.co.nz/links.cfm

Free sites for lessons and printables for teachers: http://www.sitesforteachers.com/index.html

I enjoyed looking at the photos beginning on the ETC flickr page. There are some interesting pictures!!

Dear Toni, I just love the idea of using Flickr for the science erosion and weathering unit. It did make me think of how I could implement a Google Earth with using Flickr pictures too. Thanks for sharing!
