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:

Feeding 7 billion and our fragile environment is a photo gallery from The Boston Globe. I’m adding it to The Best Resources For Learning About Our World’s Population Of 7 Billion.

Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca is a slideshow from The Los Angeles Times. I’m adding it to The Best Sites To Learn And Teach About The Hajj.

We Are Stardust: Photographs of the Great Beyond is a slideshow from The Atlantic. I’m adding it to The Best Images Taken In Space.

Sculptures by the sea is a slideshow from The San Francisco Chronicle. I’m adding it to The Best Examples Of “Unusual” Art.

Famous Last Words is a LIFE slideshow. I’m adding it to The Best Places To Find Quotations On The Web.

Autumn leaves color the horizon is a photo gallery from The Sacramento Bee. I’m adding it to The Best Sites For Images Of Fall Foliage (& For Teaching About The Season).

National Geographic Photo Contest 2011 is from The Atlantic.
