Creative Commons Lab

Whether the students and I are working on computer components, discussing computer history, or keyboarding; I can use images in my class in a number of ways. I chose the image embedded below because during the computer history unit of my 8th grade computers class I have the students research a person who has made a significant impact in the technology world and/or a pioneer in the technology industry. Bill Gates tends to be a very popular person. After the student choose the person they would like the research, they create a Facebook profile (using a template in MS Word) for this person that includes basic information, some posts they feel this person may make, and friends this person would probably have on their friends list.

My 8th graders and I also do a lesson on internal computer components. I could definitely use images to show internal components along with the actual computers we dismantle.

The image below is just a cute image of my dog. His name is Marlan. This photo was taken after a recent haircut.

  1. I think Marlan and I had the same hair cutter... Mine was really cropped recently!
    Neat photos and reflection. Thanks!
