Since Krista mentioned last week that the Library of Congress was beginning to use Flickr to post images I knew I wanted to explore what was available. I used the other method to create this slideshow--using very specific search terms to narrow down to a small set of pictures. With the election coming up I decided on pictures of the U.S. Capital building. As many people have mentioned I like how this exercise of selecting photos then leads logically into voicethread as a further extension. I can see these historic photos being used in a creative writing or history class. The amount of historic material being made available by the Library of Congress and others allows for re-purposing of this content in all different ways.

This show was very interesting to watch! I agree it could be useful in a creative writing or history class. In addition, it would be interesting to use something like this in teaching English as a second language and have the students tell "the story."
