Thing 7

I think I could definitely use Flickr in the classroom.  It is always nice to have a good visual when you are introducing a new concept or if you want to provide some prior knowledge/experience for your students.  I often find myself doing searches for the same topics each year when I teach them.  My Favorites site on my laptop is just loaded with so many random things and isn't at all organized.  It would be nice to have a place for photographs and to be able to easily organize and access them when needed. 

I don't know what issues I might face, except that it would be necessary to make sure the photos are available to the public.  I wouldn't want to break any copyright laws.  I would have to make sure I carefully screen anything that I might show my students.  I would not make them public or share them unless I felt sure they were appropriate.
