Especially helpful for math and English teachers! Check it out- you may get an idea for a lesson or two.
It looks incredible with a good online image (needs to be better quality than this one, but you get the idea), it’s free, and you can even get a bookmarklet for your browser! Pretty sure this is gonna be a life-altering web tool, although I’m now wanting to re-upload all my photo album images at…

The Sacramento Bee just published a series of photos titled Images of daily life around the world.
It got me thinking that a nice summative geography assessment might be to have students grab images off the web that they feel accurately represents an example of daily life in different countries they’ve studied and explain why they chose the image.
He goes on a little bit more in depth in the blog post (click through to read more- I didn’t want to copy the whole thing.) I think this is a great idea and I might use something similar as an end of the year activity with my students. With a lot of ideas I see around, I think this general concept could be applied to many classrooms.
For years, magazines and newspapers have used photo galleries to tell stories. Photos can build emotion, provide information, encourage a specific action and create great questions.
We can have our kids do the same thing by asking them to create Five Photo Stories. It seems like a great way for kids to activate prior knowledge, review information, learn new content or practice summarizing. It’s basically an all-purpose graphic organizer! The rules are pretty simple.
- Submit a sequence of at least five photographs that create a story.
- The sequence of photos should visually tell the story.
- A title is the only words that can be used as part of the photo essay. Rely on the photographs to bring the story to life.
- The photos can be found online or taken by the student.

Edudemic links to some great image resources to share with your students. It’s important to explain to them copyright infringement applies to online images as well, and using these resources helps them avoid this.
Includes links to simple paint programs and other creative artistic programs, as well as collaborative whiteboarding tools.
Wylio is designed to find free creative commons images and resize them for your blog. Thanks Larry Ferlazzo for sharing this.
I looove what you reblogged from Alison Searfus! I taught Grapes of Wrath at a point, and I would totally incorporate this into my lesson plans. Thanks for the awesome pictures! They’re so cool!
Thanks! I agree :)
Who I am: A third year high school history teacher at an urban(ish) high school in New Jersey.
What I blog about: Stuff related to education I like, and stuff I hope can help other teachers out. Technology, deals on supplies, helpful books. My focus lately is on educational technology & related resources. Occasionally, I also post things related to education reform. Because I post articles that I feel will be of interest to teachers with varying views, the political-related posts made here do not necessarily reflect my beliefs or opinions, nor do they reflect the beliefs of my employer.
What I like learning & reading about: Other teacher's opinions about and experiences with teaching & education. How I can enrich my classroom and reach out to my students. If you write about this stuff, let me know, because I probably want to read it.
What you should submit: Anything that could help a teacher.
A History Question. #sschat
A thank you video.

History should be taught like a read...
