This learning activity was very time consuming.  I spent way too much time looking at photos.  Flickr is a great resource.  I wish there could be a search within a search when looking for particular photos.  I changed themes a couple of times, when I realized my 8 photos for my theme of numbers would require me to contact each photographer for permission. 

My final choice of  theme was "3 states of water".  I plan to show the slideshow when I teach the science lesson next week.  Other ideas of using Flickr will be finding pictures of 1) singular and plural objects 2) action photos for the study of verbs and 3) pictures to use in reviewing shapes (I Spy type of pictures).

Working with photos and images took me out of my comfort zone.  I had to learn how to find information about the photo, to download and upload photos, save, rename, and relocated my photo files.  I should have already known this. I needed to learn it and I feel like I have a handle on it now.
