Wes Fryer Chapter 5: Images

This chapter gives many resources that teachers can use when incorporating images into lessons, presentations, homework, or classroom activities. Pictures are worth a thousand works, and many kids learn through visual images. I explored the website Flickr, which is filled with pictures that have clear statements on whether or not you can use it with or without permission. Flickr has a section called the Creative Commons in which they give symbols for the copyright status. This is helpful for educators, because although they can use pictures on grounds of education, their students cannot. Another website that I really found to be helpful was Wylio. This website, much life Flickr has a creative commons sections as well. When I made my account, and got to view the pictures, I thought that the images here were of a higher quality than those found on Flickr. The last website I explored was Compfight. It appeared to me to be very similar to the other two websites. I believe that sharing photos it an interesting way to gather perspective on student content knowledge. I will use and provide many of these websites to my students whenever they are required to present information because visuals are important to every learning style, and they can be fun!
