Images in the classroom

Uploading images has been the easiest, quickest and most visually rewarding task i have done so far. I didn't have to change any part of the photo it seemed to fit exactly how i wanted it and this photo was taken with a camera. Dancing is always about learning visually and having pictures for students to look at may help them to remember what a certain position looks like.
Photos are a great way to engage learners and could often be used as a hook at the start of a unit. You may be doing a musical theatre unit and could begin by showing students photos of dancers in the past and the present. Photos in the classroom cater for visual learners. I know that having a visual aid to help explain something is always more engaging then reading or talking about it. Pictures in the classroom should aim on having a purpose for outcomes to be met unless they are for decoration around the classroom.
There has been times when i have used Flickr, however i much prefer Google images because you don't have to sign up to use the photos. You can also just copy and paste the images to your desktop and then upload them from there i find this way alot easier.
