Well upon pa-rousing Flickr and its many uses, I felt that I could use this for a digital platform for my students. Students can take digital pictures of their work and compose and tag their work into categories and genres. The Lesson might even be used for a final project to culminate the years works. Almost like a digital portfolio.
My lesson would start out with instruction on how to use Flickr and sign up for an account. I would probably make a Screenflow movie to help students when they are at home. After the initial lesson, that would take about one class period, I would move on to the lesson on creating a digital portfolio of the years work. As students build the portfolio throughout the year we can have class discussion on projects, as kind of like a critique, of sorts. As students learn to place and tag artworks in their portfolio, they will be reminded to only put their artwork into this account. If they want their own personal account they will have to create their own and on their own time. At the end of the year, students will present their work in a final Power Point Presentation or Keynote Presentation. They will explain their growth through the course and a progression of their artwork. The presentations will be around 5 minutes long and they could create a movie file to play for the class as an option, instead of getting up in front of the class.
In some cases students never really get a chance to see what their classmates produce over the year, so I think this would be a great way to celebrate the accomplishments of each other.
