flickr in the classroom

This week I tried flickr, and I was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to navigate its different features, as well as how user-friendly its interface is. I couldn't help but think how fun it would be to use this website a class assignment or group project (most likely targeted at the high school aged students). In the example of a class assignment, a teacher could request students find examples in the real world for a given topic and upload it to the flickr class account. They can set their own licenses in case they don't want it shared outside of the group. Additionally, this could also be used for a group project in collaborating photos that group mates have come across. You can even include the citations within the comments section as a way of creating an annotated bibliography.

What would you use flickr for, or have you used it?
