Obviously, photos can be great educational tools with English Language Learners and with any students (see The Best Ways To Use Photos In Lessons). I post about many photo galleries, also called slideshows. To do it in a little more organized way, though, I recently began this weekly feature called “Photo Galleries Of The Week.” This post is a “round-up” of online slideshows I’m adding to various “The Best…” lists:

Famous animals throughout history is a slideshow from The Washington Post. I’m adding it to The Best Sites For Learning About Animals.

10 Images That Changed the Course of Science (And One That Is About To) is a pretty interesting slideshow. I’m adding it to The Best Sites To See “Photos That Changed The World.”

World’s Ugliest Public Art is a slideshow from Travel and Leisure. I’m adding it to The Best Examples Of “Unusual” Art.

The Great Barrier Reef – in pictures is a slideshow from The Guardian. I’m adding it to The Best Sites To Learn About Australia.

Kwanzaa celebrations across the country is a Washington Post slideshow. I’m adding it to The Best Places To Learn About Christmas, Hanukkah, & Kwanzaa.

2011 in Global development – in pictures is a slideshow from The Guardian. I’m adding it to The Best Year-End Collections Of Images — 2011.
