I think photos from Creative Commons can be used in many ways in education. One way that I love to use photos in the library is by using them as discussion starters or story starters. In lower elementary, we spend a lot of time observing illustrations in picture books and non-fiction books. We look at details, colors, settings, etc. I chose the setting in Paris, France because it once came up as a discussion. It is mentioned in the story Knuffle Bunny when the characters go overseas, so we discussed where Knuffle Bunny visited and compared the illustrations. Below is the picture I used, which my husband took when we visited Las Vegas. It's a replica of the Eiffel Tower.
Was your husband leaning backward to take the photo? Looking for details is a great activity for your class. Thanks for sharing.
