Photo Stream

What it is...

A talented student draws pictures of animals that will be the story.

Do you have students taking pictures of the board? Have a good picture someone drew? Have a lecture you'd like saved? Have notes on the board? Do students create interesting things you'd like to keep?


 Now how do you feel about being able to share those moments with students outside of class?

Using something like photo stream is a great way to share those in class pictures with students.

How to do it

If you have an iPhone it is crazy easy.  Just take a picture like normal, except create a new album. You then have the option of sharing that album. Now you have a collection of pictures that will always sync to your phone, that also lives online.

Other options would be to go the Flickr route and just upload into a "set". You could then share the set with your class.

Examples

Classroom Photostream

Here is an example of some vocabulary pictures that I've taken.  Students have decided which words they believe are the most important. Essentially they create their own tests.  I then share the link (or shorten it). They can then see it.

Ideas

Quiz Review

This would be a neat way to keep:

• Lectures
• Student posters
• Examples
• Student work in general

Expansion Questions from a Listening

It could help students wanting to review or keep some ideas.

What better way to remember is there than to see something you did again?
