When I started this chapter my first response was "Oh no.. no way am I going to post pictures on the web". Parents, administrators, the students themselves and the steady stream of permission slips would make it difficult. As I kept reading I realized the cultural possibilities because of Flickr are endless. Their Creative Commons copyright liscenses allows the students access to an endless library of pictures. An example would be a picture project for the Day of the Dead celebration in Mexico. Not only could the students choose pictures from the Flickr library, the could also annotate the pictures.
Students can also take virtual tours of other countries and annotate the pictures in Spanish. The possibilities are endless. Have them make a visual representation of subject pronouns, direct object pronouns. It is interesting and the kids would love the finished projects. My response now is "I am going to use this a lot".
