Teaching and Guidance Counseling

Flickr photos can be used as great discussion starters in the guidance office.  Students in small groups can find and share photos: showing how they are feeling, demonstrating goals they have, or activities they want to do.  Flickr photos can also be used to illustrate topics in PowerPoint presentations for parents, staff, or students.

 Another great site that can help when working with photos is imageshack.us .  I downloaded my Leadership image onto my computer and converted it on this system to a URL so I could add it to this blog.  Images can be easily resized on this site to make them easier to upload on the web or for email.

 Look for my Flickr photo Leadership below:

I think guidance curriculum would be more effective when it is presented to students using interactive multimedia and Web 2 tools.  Our District Blackboard page has recently been enhanced to include blogging, podcasts, and wikis.  Having had no training on how to use these tools,  I needed to learn them on my own.  I will then use guidance curriculum to teach my students how to use them.  We have such a limited about of time for guidance curriculum that having my students be able to access information from my Blackboard page, Edublog, or google web page will help me make better use of time and get more information to them and their parents and teachers.
