What did I find? What did I think? So what? Now what?
First things first this image is what I found after searching for awhile. It is part of an image blog entitles, "its a zoo out there". I first began searching just by "animal" or "zoo", but that was a little too broad. Then I tried searched by animal names like, "giraffe", "monkey", "lion" and "warthog", it didn't lead to much. Although when I searched for "lemur" it was full of pictures of Ring tail lemurs, but not enough of the other kinds of lemur I was looking for, so I picked this one. Why? Because it reminded of way back when I first started out as a keeper and was groomed by a monkey. I didn't solicit it but the monkey had timing and seemed to know exactly where I was most vulnerable when cleaning and in a compromising position. Needless to say it wasn't bad, I didn't have any stray hairs or dirt for the monkey to groom out, but he still tried.
So what what else I did find was pretty interesting. I am not a good photographer, I do have some interesting pictures, but not in to comparison with what is of Flickr. There are an almost overwhelming variety of images and image blogs and groups to review, but searching it incredibly easy. This site would definitely be easy and great asset to teachers to find images to use to help illustrate what may be hard to define in words. It is also a great tool to explore student creativity.
