Module 6 - Exploring Photos and Videos on the Web

I have been using Picasa, Flickr and more recently Google+ Photos. I love the fact that I can access photos on any device I own. When using pictures in the classroom, I take photos using my Smartphone and save these in Google Drive. I am then able to share photos of excursions, students work samples or activities. Just recently, Year 4 went on an excursion to the Royal National Park and we were able to write about what our experiences and add these pictures. I find it easy and fuss. 

I believe it is really important to add as much visual content as possible to our teaching and learning. I would really like to use Youtube more with students as a form of visual media. I know many of the students are already self confessed Youtubers and I would like to be able to tap into their interest. It is a matter of working around age restrictions.
