• Students can create album sets containing photographs of living things and nonliving things. This activity could be set up as a grade-level project, with each class contributing to the set. (NJCCCS Science 5.5A2)

You’ve taken your first steps into the world of Flickr, now how can you use it in your elementary classroom? Here are a few ideas!

• What better way to keep track of weather and seasonal patterns than a photo diary? Have students take pictures of the day’s weather, and then add them to a monthly weather set! Students can use their uploaded photos to graph the weather, and analyze in writing the weather patterns they observe and how those patterns affect their everyday lives. (NJCCCS Science 5.8B3,4)

• Using the search function, collect photos of important American monuments and symbols. Print out several copies of each, and have the students use them to create national symbol posters. These posters can include facts about the symbol and why it is important to our country’s history. (NJCCS Social Studies 6.4B4)

• Find interesting photos and turn them into writing projects! This can be done with any topic of your choosing. Students, using the picture as a prompt, will write a story about it including a beginning, middle, and end. (NJCCS Language Arts 3.2B3)

• Observe the Earth’s rotation! On a sunny day, have the students chart the movement of the shadows throughout the day by taking pictures and uploading them. At the end of the day, have students document their observations using your photo timeline! (NJCCCS Science 5.9A2)

A Note About SafetyA Note About Safety

When working with students on Flickr, safety is of the utmost importance. Here are some useful tips!

• Do not publish student photos without signed permission from their parents.

• In lieu of having students use their names on Flickr, assign each student a number as an online label.

• Create a private group for your grade-level or school. That ensures only members will be able to see your content.
