This is fun!



I really love photography, so this is somehow easier than the previous steps!

Great possibilities to make my lessons a lot more engaging by using the "captured" pictures. Just to mention, one example is to use them to teach "Landforms" as a part of the Second Grade Social Studies Curriculum.

I have my own page on the Flickr website where I have been adding photos with a wide range of themes: Landscapes, wildlife, diverse ethnic cultures, etc.
I know that this is going to be an excellent "first hand" source of information!
Did I mention that I am an incurable traveler...and a stubborn adventurer?

Tool # 2

Building Communities and Comments

After visiting blogs of some of my colleagues, reading their ideas and experiences during this common task, a new level of inspiration and encouragement has come to me.
I added some of them as contacts and register myself as follower .
This way, I am all set to start exchanging information and feedback.


I hope that new insights will arise to make this window to Knowledge even more fun as well as interesting!
