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:

New seven wonders of nature is from CNN and New 7 Wonders of Nature finalists is from The News in Australia. These slideshows highlight the results of a vote by The New 7 Wonders of Nature Foundation to identify…the new 7 wonders of nature. You can see the 28 preliminary finalists here. I’m adding them to The Best Sites For Learning About Various “Seven Wonders”.

IUCN red list 2011 – in pictures is from The Guardian and highlights endangered species. I’m adding it to The Best Resources For World Biodiversity Day (& Endangered Species Day).

World’s weird and wonderful sights is a fun slideshow from The News in Australia.

The Middle Ages in colour is an impressive slideshow from The BBC.

Top 10 Strange Objects Sent into Space is a slideshow from TIME. I’m adding it to The Best Sites For Learning About Planets & Space.
