as well. However, I am not exactly sure how I would use it for my classes. The only time I have never used Flickr was to view my photographer friend's photos.
I am interested to read other people's posts on how they will be using it.

From a friend....
ReplyDeletehey i read your blog about technology in the classroom! loved it. this is what i wanted to post on that site, but i was too lazy to make a profile.
sarah, you hit the nail on the head! technology for technology's sake is terrible. i see kids @ wayne state all the time with their laptops open in lectures -- they are usually checking facebook! clickers can be useful in a 150 person lecture hall, but when you are dealing with 30-40 middle schoolers it probably isn't necessary. plus, middle school should be when kids learn how to start really interacting with their peers and adults. by relegating the question/answer portion of a class period to the simple clicking of buttons is depriving the kids of valuable social interaction.
