Thing 8

I enjoyed exploring flickr tools and mashups, and I will use these in my classroom.
Spell with flickr would be a fun way for students to practice their spelling words independently at the computer.

                                                                                                                                   

                                                                                                                               

Alphalearnr is a flickr mashup that could be beneficial for ELL students.  This mashup helps children learn the English alphabet through photos.  There is also sound, and the students can hear the letter spoken as they look at pictures for each word.  I've posted the link, and a sample picture of the word nest.
