Thing 7!
So, uploading to Flickr was really easy. Before now, I had only thought about this site's uses with family and friend photos, but I guess why not in the classroom too? Students can upload photos of the progress of projects at home, we can upload photos of classroom projects and labs... the possibilities are pretty much endless. Maybe we're talking about a certain topic in class, and their homework would be to find an example of it, take a photo and upload it- that could lead to some great discussions. It appears that you can upload photos from your phone too, which would be great because just about all of our students have phones with photo capabilities. I like the map feature too- posting or seeing photos taken in different places was really cool. I can see how that would really be useful in social studies classes.

I like getting an email from someone who announces that they posted pictures to Flickr. Once they provide the link, I just click and see the photos - no logging in required. It's all about convenience! With students, there may be times when you want the photos open to anyone, and other times when you want to restrict viewers. Options are good.
