Today an instructor and I were discussing using Flickr with blogs for his EFL Beginning Writing Class. We discussed having the students create "digital flash cards" to develop their vocabulary from photos they take of simple objects, places and events.Next, we decided to use digital pictures for paragraph writing. Pictures easily lend themselves to descriptive and process writing. Students will be given an assignment first, then they will think about what they will photograph and then write about it.
These types of assignments actively engage learners and put the students in charge of their own learning. Then the ideas just kept coming...we decided we had too many ideas for one semester!
