There are many ways to use Flickr in the classroom. If the students need to find a picture to go along with a project, they could search tags on Flickr. Also, I could find pictures that go along with lessons we're doing in class. For example, we're working on Botany right now, so I could find example pictures of plants and flowers. One nice thing is that Flickr can be accessed from any computer. So, if a picture is found and added in the Tech Lab, the students can also access it from a computer in the classroom of even from home.
One issue for me would be having pictures set for the public to see. I'm sure many parents would be unsure of having their children post pictures for the public to see. I also share a concern of having pictures posted for anyone to see. I could set the settings to private for only parents and students of the classroom to view.
