Thing 7: Flickr

Flickr is a great source for examples you may have otherwise had a hard time finding. I did a search for geometric objects and happened to stumble upon some really cool optical illusions. So then I searched for optical illusions and came across this great example of architecture. One of the coolest things about Flickr is how a lot of the pictures have geotags. This allows you to quickly see where the picture was taken. This is a building in the Netherlands. I will definitely be using this site to show my students that Geometry is useful outside of the classroom, and can be pretty cool. Anything to get them engaged in the learning process is always welcomed in my class! http://farm1.staticflickr.com/68/226056554_e67c5be39a_z.jpg
