Wow! I thought Flickr was just a sight were anyone could share pictures and that alone had some possibilities. I had no idea about the RSS feed or the abililty to create groups, tags, comment, use with Google Maps or Google Earth, and all the Flickr Tools. My equipment order for the school includes 6 digital cameras for the students to use..I think I may need to order more! I can see having my upper elementary students using their own photos for projects, but the lower elementary could possible use photos that I or someone else has uploaded for less involved projects. I think Flickr is a tool with a lot of potential for K-12 education and I plan to spend more time exploring this resource.
Explore the Flickr items on our wiki page - Images. There are a lot of ideas and don't forget Atomic Learning has a tutorial, too.
