Thing 5: More Fun With Flickr

t H I Copper Uppercase Letter N Vintage LEGO Letter G 5

Thing 5 presents many great tools for students to learn about media and advertising, among other things. Students can create billboards, magazine covers, movie posters, etc. and market to a specific audience, or try to create a certain mood through the images and words that they use. Students will be more engaged because they will feel ownership of what they create while learning. Another example would be to learn about calendars by creating them using their favorite pictures from home in Flickr Big Huge Labs . This is a resource that I will definitely share with the elementary teachers.
