Photo gallery for learning English!
i’m very excited about a new open source script i’ve found .. to dynamically create a picture gallery! I think using images is vital for language learning – especially for a theme-based topic like the beach – people want to see the beach in front of their very eyes, and how relaxing is it to watch a beach scene! There are a few ideas for picture-gallery-related language-learning activities on the site – would be grateful if anyone has additional ideas.
There are many scripts for generating a picture gallery – you can search through sourceforge’s treasure trove. The one i chose .. was the one i could get to work. Doesn’t need a database, only some folders full of images, and pre-built thumbnails.
Drop us a line, will ya?
.. and yes, finally, dear reader, you can add to this growing stack of knowledge – yes i need you please. i’m finding out that learning craves community .. try out the AddYourComment page, and share with other readers what YOU’ve discovered in the worlds of OpenSource, interactive online communities, or scripting for web design.
This ‘commenter’ from GreatNexus isn’t strictly open source, in fact its a commercial script that the author has released free for some users .. but i searched and searched, and it was the only one i could get to work.
Speaking of scripting – if you’re a web designer interested in adding more interactivity to your site, the script collection at phpfreaks is a good place to start.
