Thing #7

This is the first time I have used Flickr.com, I could have browsed this site for hours.  I loved being able to use the tags, up to seventy-five.  I liked the tags idea because my categorization of a photo is not necessarily the same as the photographer.  Plus, by using more tags, I think I would be able to narrow down the choices to something that would fit exactly what I was looking for. The picture I chose was not my first choice, but I still love it.  I picked rocks because it relates to the power point I will be working on for this class.  I usually search for pictures through Google images. In the classroom, I would be able to use different images to define new vocabulary or concepts.  Sometimes, small children can only visualize a word or concept in one way, showing them other visuals will help them broaden their knowledge base.
