Spelling lists are boring! … But not with Spell with Flickr, a simple and quick application that allows you to grab typographic images from Flickr’s public site.
I used Spell with Flickr to make my banner (which one of my tactful friends said resembles a ransom note), and made the following video tutorial to share this fun application with you. I can imagine using Spell with Flickr for vocabulary and spelling lessons: Assign a few challenging words to students and
ask them to search for letter styles that give visual impressions of the words’ meanings. Random selection of images won’t count!
Here’s a video tutorial for Spell With Flickr. It lasts about 5 minutes.

You sound like a professional in that video - have you been doing this for a while?
(giggling) No, and I thank you for the compliment. I will gladly narrate your videos for an overinflated fee.
… just kidding.
I’ve always talked to myself when I worked, so it must be good practice.
