Flickr is something that should be used in the classroom as a resource for teachers, communication for parents and research for students. As teachers, we can use flickr to share photos or images of projects that we have created with students so that others can see what we did and use it for their own classrooms. It could also be the other way around. Other teachers could post pictures of what they made in their classroom and it could possibly get us thinking in the same boat and create our own. Also, we as teachers can post what we do daily, pictures of students working on projects or pictures of field trips so that the parents can see what their child is doing at school.
As a parent, my child comes home from school and says she did "nothing" at school that day, however, I know that they did something - so this is a way for parents to see what the children are "actually" doing.
Students can use flickr as a wonderful resource for pictures. If anything is ever needed in a project, students can go and find many different pictures of the same place or same things.
I believe that flickr is a wonderful tool to use as an educator. It should be used in every classroom. I will definitely use this for myself and for my students.
