Flickr is a solution to the problem my husband and I were having with storage space for our pictures- they take up so much hard drive space! We have previously purchased, easy to lose, flashdrives to house our pictures. While this is a good idea for use in the new digital photo frames, it is still better to back up our pictures on the easily accessible Web.
In the classroom, there are many ways Flickr can be used. First of all, pictures can be taken of the students completing projects, playing learning games, or doing presentations. Secondly, it could be a record of their experiences on field trips. Finally, pictures could be taken by the students themselves as a character education lesson; for example, if a student witnesses cooperation between students, he/she will be allowed to ask for the classroom camera for a quick snap shot. A bulletin board of these cooperative moments may act as glue for the learning community.
