Curriculum Opportunities - Flickr Tools
To add motivation and creativity and save valuable curriculum time get students to use images in FD’s Flickr Tools to ‘design-up’ the outcomes of their learning into a professional looking end product. This can be a useful end of lesson activity.
Any number of covers from a billboard advert, magazine cover, CD cover, comic strip with captions and movie poster are available.
It’s always best to use your own digital images if possible to avoid any copyright implications. If you use your own images you need to have a Flickr account.
Alan Parkinson of www.geographypages.co.uk says:“Make sure your image is large size and is public. Then follow the simple instructions, and you'll have your own mini-masterpiece. Use one of several great flagrant disregard flickr tools to bring a real sense of creativity to the classroom. Try the motivation poster maker, the badge maker, the caption maker and the film poster maker, plus new hockneyizer.... I also recommend a search for the new bubblr tool for Flickr to make strip cartoons - great! Also check out dumpr which has a good field sketch type tool.”
