Photo sharing is another Web 2.0 tool that can really tap into the creativity of your students. This can really help satisfy the NETS-S standards 1 & 2 (Creativity and Innovation as well as Communication and Collaboration). I found registering with Flickr to be very easy, especially since I already had a Yahoo login. Navigating around the site is easy and they make it simple to add tags and groups.
I can see using photo sharing particularly in my economics classes. One of the concept that we focus on is the inequality of income distribution and I can really see where photos can be used as a prompt to generate discussions. I can see myself posting photos to my class blog and asking students to comment on how the photo represents a side of the income distribution issue.
