Group+1+Slideshow

Students can add slideshows to their project space using Flickr. Students will need a Flickr account and can them embed their slideshow into their project. Below is an example of a Flickr photostream related mostly to students engaged in water systems rehabilitation. Why encourage the use of photos? Middle school students enjoy taking and viewing photos. From the teacher's perspectives, these photos can be evidence of collaboration, learning or completing certain tasks. From the students' perspective these photos can be used for sharing their project with the class and the larger community (stakeholders in the issue at hand). The purpose of sharing may vary but a Flickr photostream could become an activist tool.

Be aware of privacy and liability issues of taking and posting photos. If you create your own wikispaces page for your class you can set your privacy settings to a level where only your students can view the pages.
