This is a picture that I took while in the primate section at Como Zoo. I found creating a flickr account and uploading my photos to be very easy. I think that this is something that my students could do without any problems.There are many ways that I could use this in the classroom. I could ask my students to find examples of something we are studying in class, take pictures of their findings, and upload their pictures to their flickr accounts. I could also post pictures of sample projects to my account and encourage students to look at those pictures before starting a project. I could also find pictures that are relevant to the topic I am teaching, upload them to my flickr account, and share them with my students. This is convenient because I don't have to save my photos to a flash drive. I upload them to my flickr account and can access them at school by logging into my flickr account.

Kristie,
Another nice feature on Flickr is the advance search, where students can access photos carrying the Creative Commons attribute share-alike. This allows them to use the photos for educational projects without seeking approval first. Very cool!
