A lesson plan idea that I found using Flickr, came from Pamela AuCoin, a history teacher at Queens High School, in New York City. The information was retrieved from http://www.teachersnetwork.org/NTNY/nychelp/technology/flickr.htm.
Ms. AuCoin had her students use Flickr to search for soviet propaganda images. She created a class account where the students were able to upload their images to. Students were also allowed to work in pairs and performed group work for collaboration and participation. If images were not found on flickr , students were able to go to Google images or Yahoo images, then upload their images to their flickr class page. Students were then required to embed comments to their images on flickr in the description box and to share with the class.
I would use flickr in my class lesson to allow students to locate images that document an issue they care about. Once they have found an image it would be downloaded and printed in black and white. Students would then use color pencils to show contrast and emphasis and to color their image. I would have a class group page created to make it easier for students to go back and locate their images. The students would be expected to go back and post a description of the concern that the photo presented to the student or why they chose the image.
Using a whiteboard the images could be projected on the board for a class discussion and critique, also to see if the comments matched the image.
