Flickr, Foldr Monitr, and Fulbright

My boss earned a Fulbright Fellowship to Japan and has been gone for a couple of weeks now. Before she left, she worked with several classes in our elementary school to create "packets" of information about the United States and Texas to take to students in Japan. Along with that she also took a series of questions that our students wanted to learn. We chronicled all of this information via video tape.


Finally, she took along a digital camera. Armed with a Flickr account and the program, Foldr Monitr, she uploaded pictures of the trip. Then I had already created a Flickr Slide Show and entered the code into a HTML block in our school's Moodle. As she adds pictures to the Flickr account (automatically through Foldr Monitr), our students see the pictures in real time. Now our students can access the district's Moodle and watch the stream of pictures go by that detail her trip.


Here is the slide show:
