I have never had a flickr account until now as I have been happy storing my photos on my computer or sharing samples with friends via facebook, email or blog.
I can see that flickr is a good way of storing and sharing photos- I have seen many friend’s photos through flickr, however, I’m not keen on the need for a yahoo account in order to use the application. I also don’t find the application that great to use.
I could see flickr being a great resource in the classroom for sourcing different and varied images. The creative commons licence would allow students to go beyond Google images and find more dynamic and engaging images. This would be particularly useful as many of the ICT assessment tasks at school e.g. vodcasts call for the use numerous images. At present the students often have similar images to one another yet using flickr would allow them more creativity and individualism in their assessments
