Here is my Flickr slideshow. The theme is LOVE. There are so many types of love (spouse, partner, teenage, parent/child, sibling, friend, love as it ages, patriotism, pets, etc.). Then there is the darker side of love, too (abuse, loneliness, anger, death, arguments, alienation, etc.). Society likes to focus on the happier side of it, so I thought I would contrast it with the less appealing images.

I found finding images more challenging than I thought and it required me to rethink along the lines of a "key word" search. I know my students would also struggle with this. Another frustration I had was not being to reorder the images once they landed in my favorites. The slideshow would be more powerful if I could control where the images fit in. I suppose I could use iMovie for that?


Voicethread was SO easy to use. I suppose I could also import my Flickr images here and arrange them that way. Students could also use it to annotate via typing or audio specific information regarding their topic of research. I wish one feature of voicethread could be to break audio files away. For example, if you clicked save on a voicethread, but then got distracted by your dogs/kids/husband, and went back to finish your project and forgot you already did the audio, but rerecorded, you can’t take that off. I just left it there. ;-) So you get to hear 2 versions of the same slide on the last one. Have fun with that.
