This page would benefit from some examples about how educators have used Flickr to senhance learning and teaching. Please add to this page if you have used Flickr with your class or know of a good example of its use. Flickr is blocked in most schools due to child safety issues. Flickr RSS feeds can be embedded in blogs and wiki pages. Notes can also be added to images.
