EduFlickr

April 27, 2005 By Will Richardson

I’ve been doing some research into Flickr in the classroom lately and I came across (once again) this example that I just wanted to note. It’s an “History of Western Art and Civilization: Renaissance to the Modern Era” class at FIT in New York City. Barbara had mentioned it last fall, but I didn’t get a chance to look at it closely until today. A lot of annotations and discussion about what the work achieves from an aesthetic sense. It gives you a pretty good idea of what the potentials are…

I know that when I did my Teacher’s Toolbox class last week, Flickr was a big hit. In fact I’ve been talking with some science teachers who are trying to figure out how to use it with photos of dissections. Mmmmm.

    That’s just inspiring. What a wonderful use of free technology.

    Jamie Tubbs from Ohio has done some work on how to use Flickr in the classroom.

    This is from my Survey of Western Art History course that I teach online at FIT. I’ve used Flickr now for two semesters — the image annotation tool is critical to using visual images in the classroom in any meaningful way.
