Flickr is a wonderful tool to find images to
enhance instruction, however, it is blocked in my district
to my use is primarily at home when searching for images

students.

I use this privately as a backup for my photo collection
(worth paying for the pro version) and publicly for
selected personal photos, and images that I use for
work. Top feature is ability to search for CC-licensed
images, and search in general has improved recently. I
store a fe videos
here but mainly use it for images.

- "and all its add-ons and tools. This is a wonderful
source of materials for learning and teaching. Images
can be saved or accessed in a variety of ways. I find
the Creative Commons licensing search to be particularly
useful as I look for appropriate images to use in blog posts or presentations which I
like to be image rich and text-light. Free or $ for
the Pro version."
Kate Foy
- "I upload or link to Flickr
photos several times a week. Beyond using
Flickr to house traditional photos, I also
use it to store presentation slides saved as
.jpeg files. Flickr makes interfacing with
other slideshow applications, such as
VoiceThread, a snap."

can also be employed in microblogging sites like
