So, I've created an object using Flickr pictures via the application Bubblr that could be used in the ESL classroom. The object is a series of pictures of different people dislplaying different emotions. I placed thought bubbles with sentences like "I feel ____".
This object could be used in an ESL classroom on an overhead or on handouts for teaching emtions (with more added of course). I think using Bubblr and Flickr would be a vast upgrade over using a picture dictionary, handouts copied from workbooks, or teacher drawings on the board.
If students are at all computer literate, then it would be wonderful to have students type in the word and choose which picture fits or to make their own worksheets.

Your Bubblr shows a great example of a 21st century upgrade to what language teachers like to do with pictures.
