Well, I thought I’d better give it a try as it was totally related to what I was doing, planning our Weekly tasks in our images4education session, and, more specifically, working on tasks for Flickr.
So, here’s the result:
I chose the tag Uniqueness, but it could be any, as well as a combination of a username and its tag. I think Flickriver will be useful when our group is in action and we could decide for a unique tag, participants upload a photo and we play around with Flickriver to see where it takes us in terms of images.
I could even imagine doing the following activity with students. They enter a tag they want to, five random photos will be displayed and they could have the photos as a springboard to a very creative story! How cool is that? Well, teachers, teachers, teachers…Always finding a pedagogical twist to social media!
PS: the funny thing? I was checking Nik’s link to his blog and realized he, in fact, wrote about Flickriver. So, enjoy two blog posts on the same topics by two educators. You might find something useful!
