Upon researching how other teachers have used Flickr in their lesson plans, I came across a teacher that had students research images for a soviet propaganda project. In this assignment, students used the images to analyze how the propagandists used color and slogans to get their message across. I thought of a way to use Flickr that is similar to this. In my freshman cornerstone class, I have my students write a mission statement and they start by creating a collage about themselves. I bring in magazines and the students thumb through them to find things that define them. Instead of using magazines, we can use Flickr and have students surf the Web for photos. This will give them a lot more access to their individual interests.
