Flickr In Classroom

I'm not in the classroom yet, but was thinking that a cool way to utilize Flickr might be in conjunction with a Holocaust unit. I think it would be neat to have each student select a Holocaust survivor and then find out some basic information about the survivor--where they were born, which camps they were in, for how long, and what they did with their life after liberation--and list the information with the picture. I think this exercise would show the diversity of human response to adversity and suffering. This idea really stood out for me after watching the entire series of "Band of Brothers." I could also take photo's chosen for PowerPoint presentations and group them together along with comments discussed in class that go with each photo.
