Creating, Publishing, and Using Images Online as stated in Will Richardson's Book "is becoming more and more accessible every day. This chapter is related to Flickr although there are many different sites that can be used for this purpose. Flickr allows users to post images up to 100MB per month. Flickr sends a message to new users that states the following:
You can use Flickr to:
Organize your photos in a meaningful way - http://flickr.com/photos/organize/
Share your photos and stay in touch with your friends and family - http://flickr.com/photos/friends/
Form a group for a wedding, reunion and event
Find beautiful, cool or intriguing photos and videos
And much, much more
If you click on the title of this post you can go to Flickr and start using their website services.
Please share your ideas on how a service like this may be used in a classroom or for education purposes.

I think that students like to see photos of themselves and their accomplishments on-line. I think that publishing photos of classroom projects is fine, however I am not a fan of posting any photos of students on-line.
You can use Flickr to display photos of activities and projects that students have participated in. This can be viewed by parents and community members to see what is happening in our classroom. You can also use it on the first day of school to show new students some of the fun and exciting things that they will experience this school year.
In the classroom I believe this would be a great way for the students and myself to put together slideshow presentations.
For example, I just finished a kinesiology unit in health class. I could have put pictures up of the muscles and bones along with captions, or notes of their origin and insertion points.
This would definitely allow for students to visually learn very difficult information.
As I said in discussion, we could use it in class for Senior memory books. I know one of the chapters in it is "This is where I live." Here the students could mark hangouts and other favorite places with descriptions or pictures.
If we were working with a novel where the journey is a big theme, the students could post a map, then insert either story maps or tableaus (picture poses of scenes).
