It's a great image searching tool to find pictures related to various topics. Students can do creative writing activities with the images and pictures can be geo-tagged to link pictures to a specific geographical location. Classrooms can also take virtual field trips using the images on Flickr. Moreover, teachers can create RSS feeds so students and parents can be updated by notification about the account...AND SO MUCH MORE!!!
