BUBBLESHARE

BUBBLESHARE, a photo sharing service, is a creative way to share your story with others by combining voice and photos to create story albums. Think of the ways BUBBLESHARE can be used in your curriculum, face-to-face or online.

For example, an Art Instructor can upload photos for an Art History or Studio course. Adding voice makes this the perfect addition to an online course- just provide the story album to your students in your Moodle, WebCT/Blackboard course site and they can listen and view your series of photos for your daily assignments. Or use your story album in class from your laptop to get the daily discussion going. Again, wouldn't this make a great online discussion forum?

Think about English Learners and what this can add to your curriculum either in face-to face classes or for learning English online. As a matter of fact, this would work well for learning any language, online or face-to-face.

Next, think about Social Studies, Sciences, and even Math! Photos of the Pyramids or the Emerald Buddha would be great sparks for students Math lessons. Share photos from your own travels or use photos from shared sources in your album; not copyrighted ones, of course.

It's often said that, "A picture is worth a thousand words", but when used in your curriculum photo albums can spark students with thousands of thoughts to construct learning through visual, collaborative dialogue.
