Mod 9 : Post #2 How would I use Bookr in my future classroom?

Among the three websites that use Flickr photos, I found Bookr the most appealing. The reason for that is because I was inspired by a love story of a photo album from Bookr, the best day of my life. This story is a love story about a couple. It described how this girl's boyfriend proposed to her by showing us a sequence of photos. To tell the truth, I was quite touched and enlightened by this story. Therefore, I think it would be feasible if I apply this on-line application to my future teaching. In the following paragraphs, I am going to illustrate some ideas about how I can utilize it in the near future.First, children all love stories and so do adults. For example, we can teach students by showing them a series of photos. Moreover,through Bookr, teachers can find various photo stories with captions in terms of friendship, life, relationship, recipes, to name just a few. For example,  Why do people celebrate Halloween By so doing, students would be highly interested and motivated. for those interesting and new stuff can easily catch students’ eye. Second, teachers can find stories which not only fit for their current teaching contexts but also for students’ English level. Third, since we have only an earth, we should all think GREEN! By using e-photo stories, we reduce the use of books. Instead of photo copying stories or purchasing books for students, teachers can show students stories through Bookr. It is innovative and digital, isn’t it! Fourth, teachers can encourage students to create stories through the photos they took. In this way, students can create their own work and share their e-photo stories with classmates. It would be fun. 

Last but not least, only follow the trend and apply technology into teaching can a teacher be inspired all the time!
