sydsaunders' photostream on Flickr.
This is the recent Flickr account I've created. I found that Flickr is very easy to navigate and allows you to share photos quickly and efficiently find what you are searching for. Although slightly different, I usually use Instagram for sharing photos I take. Instagram is similar in the fact that you can search tags although it is based around using the filters installed and has more of a Twitter feel than Flickr. Flickr would be a good site to use in the classroom because it would allow you to pull up photos quickly that are saved to your Flickr account. Also, if you remain on your own account, you wouldn't have to worry about anything inappropriate popping up like you would if you used the search in front of your students. It allows you to have the pictures you want already prepared, and in the teaching world being prepared is always better. The fact that the photos are public does mean you need to be careful with what you post, but for educational purposes, it could be a great tool. Sharing is definitely the way to go with education.
