Flickr in the Classroom-thing 12

I do use Flickr to find photos that explain the math topic that my students are learning about and sometimes I just find photos that keep my students interested in coming to school everyday to see what the photo is that day. I have been talking about copyrights with the students lately and we have searched for photos that are under the creative commons license. I am always inpressed when the students remember and ask me if a picture is okay to use. Recently the class viewed several photos and needed to decide if they where rep-tiles or tessellations. The students where very involved and argued for what they thought was correct. I have invited the students to submit photos and some students have, but I have not made it an assignment.
