5Card Flickr

Fifth graders have been learning about the importance of giving credit to all content creators; while most students understand that you have to list text sources, they weren't aware that you also have to acknowledge where you get images.

We went over Creative Commons licensing, which web content creators use to specify how others can share their stuff. One site that uses Creative Commons is Flickr, an alternative to Google Images. Photographers can tag their images with all kinds of labels, including "5cardflickr," a game that involves choosing randomly generated pictures and then creating a story to go with them.

Here are our stories ... try playing at home!

Once there was a fortuneteller, and he had a friend that was a man. He discovered a butterfly, and then he ate it. The fortunteller told the man that the frog was in his destiny. Soon enough, the frog appeared and carried the man to the lion. The lion said to go to the store of knives, where he would meet a hippie that has a knife collection. But they were all very dull, because hippies are peaceful.

Once upon a time, there was this guy who watched Annoyed Orange, and he said, "Hey! If I create an Annoyed Apple, will he be too strong to break if he falls down a mountain?" Then the guy that threw the apple down gave an inspirational speech in the living room with his workers. And the dog was thinking of eating the monkey.
