Adventures in Teaching and Learning

I’ve been trying to keep off the computer a bit more, and do other important things instead. However, while trying to find a great Flickr mashup website that I can’t remember the name of and am having trouble finding, I have found another very interesting site – The Multicolr Search Lab. Click on one or more colours, and this site will find photos from Flickr that contain that colour. I’ve tried a particular gold shade, and simply looking at the choice of images cheers me up! What is also great news is that they have looked at about 10 million Creative Commons images, so I can feel free to use and attribute the images I find. Do have a look!

Also, I can’t remember if I’ve mentioned this one before – CompFight – another Flickr mashup tool. It’s fantastic – I’ve been using it loads. I’m trying to make my presentations more visual, and it’s important for me, particularly as an RE teacher!, that I use Creative Commons images. These days, there are so many tools to make it easy to do that that there’s no excuse not to. (Although I do admit, I am struggling to find one or two images that I think would be just right …). Anyway, this is great. Try it. Just remember to set the Creative Commons indicator to “only”, or else you will still need to check if you are allowed to use them.
