Everyone has heard of Flickr, but are you using it in your classroom? It you are searching for a photo of a place, Flickr is often better than a search engine. There are so many different ways this amazing resource can be used in a classroom. It's always the first site I look at when starting a geography/history/current affairs lesson, as there are very few places on this planet where a tourist hasn't been and snapped. http://ictmagic.wikispaces.com/Photos+&+Images

"Every pattern on this page is, in fact, a satellite image of our own planet Earth. Which is breathtaking, but strangely unsurprising. Choose one as a wallpaper for your iPhone to always remember who you are and where you come from."

Neat idea, not sure though that the photos of the "stars/ planets" will confuse the learning. Students may be fixated on the revolving images?

Consider the work of a famous artist or that of your students. Upload them and try to put them back together. Good spatial awareness/problem solving.

Assemble or create virtual jigsaws with your own photos and images. A great resource to hide clues, a twist on a multiple choice quiz or answers to homework. http://ictmagic.wikispaces.com/Photos+&+Images

Make a puzzle out of one of your pics and put puzzle together on line. Idea: DO a class pic on mimio first day of school
