Flickr will be a great asset to me because I can organize the pictures I save as "sets." Now when I have a specific unit that I want to demonstrate with a picture or a film, I don't have to cruise the internet to find this information. I can have it in my Flickr account and easily access it. It will be a time saver. I can have all the pictures of the "old dead scientists" seperated from the Hiroshima and Nagasaki/ atomic bomb photos.
Additionally, when I have my students make videos or use pictures for presentations, I don't have to worry about them being in the correct format. They could download their pictures and videos onto flickr and we have one website to access them all!
The only difficult I could see with this is if students didn't have access to a home computer so I would need to make time for them in the computer lab or the library to access the information.

If your pictures are loaded on flickr, then your kids can access them from any Internet connection - they can use the library and computer labs before and after school and during study halls -- and if they don't have a home computer, then they are probably already using the ones at the public library or at a friend's house -- virtually every class requires the use of some kind of online information
