6-A-1 Flickr Possibilities
Recently, I took my AP Biology students to the Pittsburgh Zoo and PPG Aquarium for a “Behind the Scenes” tour. Our favorite moments were spent with a macaroni penguin such as the one in the photo that I obtained from Flickr. Most of the students took pictures of exotic animals during our tour, but we study many life forms in our own backyard as well. A Flickr album of pictures of the organisms in our environment could be shared with students from other areas. This would enable students to learn from each other about the plants and animals that are not native to their own climates.

He’s cute! Your idea for an album to share sounds excellent. Both you and BJ mentioned having students take their own pictures. It might be fun to do that with my students. I could give everyone a new vocabulary word and ask them to take a pictures that would illustrate the word.
