The Web 2.0 Service I would like to comment on that I think would enhance learning for my students is Flickr. This is a website that allows anyone to view or share photos.
This website could be linked to the curriculum in Grade 7 English Language Arts - Viewing Strand.
I think that this website could be a very useful tool for students to use if they are participating in a particular unit of study. They could asked to find a picture that could describe the scene, how the people are feeling, etc. They could create a response with the picture and describe how it applies to what they are learning. Also, a teacher could use Flickr to do some research on their own and find a few pictures that would apply to a particular unit of study in ELA. The teacher could post these pictures up around the classroom and get students to pick their favourite one. They would then have to study that picture and attempt to describe what is going on in it and how it applies to their unit. Students could benefit greatly from using real life photos to attempt to guide them and add to what they are already learning.
