Doug Belshaw mentioned Splashr a while back, but I’ve only just had a look. It’s a very convenient tool for displaying Flickr images and while there are lots of different styles, I made this as an example of how it could be used on an interactive whiteboard in a “guess the location” context.
Update:
Here’s another example of a Splashr presentation illustrating a field trip to London.
Doug Belshaw added an interesting video featuring Splashr in the classroom to his blog. I really like his idea of using very brief video clips to illustrate innovative classroom ICT practice! Doug also presents a nice tutorial too.
Hi Noel
Good diagram.
You’ve produced something very nice here, but unfortunately my school filters out Flickr and Flickr hosted images. Boo!
Alan
P.S: Space navigator rocks !
Alan, that’s disgraceful. No school should be filtering Flickr - I’d kick up a fuss…
Noel, thanks for the link. I liked your Monserrat video - did you get permission from parents to be able to show the kids’ faces? I’m thinking of sending a letter out to the parents of the class I showed on the video to which you link.
Thanks for your comment Doug. Yes, parents gave permission, though I edited the video to remove references to names.
