Flickr to Write
British educator Tom Barrett recently shared an interesting post on the use of Flickr to inspire writing for students. I follow Tom on Twitter and learn a lot from him, often jealous that his school day is ending hours before my own.
But beyond using digital images, he talks about the power of technology and that it can be an effective friend of teachers, even when it is used simply, and you’re not planning to geek-out. It’s a sober reminder for me, too, to look not only up at the glittery innovations, but for all the ways tech in schools can make a positive improvement.
