Flickr can be a huge use to me in the classroom. Our curriculum requires my students to create a magazine article, which includes pictures. Up to now. I've been storing pictures to the used on our schools file server. With Flickr I’ll be able to put these pictures in a spot where the kids could get them online. The drawback is, when working will any pictures that are not original obviously we would not be able to put them on Flickr.
Other applications would be to post pictures taken of the students through their activities to you, make the Flickr account private, and give the parents and authorization to look at the class pictures. This would allow parents a greater familiarity with what I do as a teacher, and provide a greater sense of connectivity to their child's educational experience. By making a private, it would help protect the security of my students and their families in a Web 2.0 world.
I also wonder if there would be a policy limitations/recommendations let my district has in place over the sort of use of technology.
