I have never used Flickr before, but I have heard about it from friends. I think that it is a great site for photo sharing and tagging. It's also a great video place! I can see myself using this site in a classroom setting because it seems alot more safe than what some people may use to search for photos. I created an account in Flickr, and I uploaded a picture from my trip to Guatemala. I was in Antigua, Guatemala and there was a gorgeous volcano in the background. I have used a site similiar to this called photobucket. It has photo sharing capabilities and you can store/upload photos as well. I really like photobucket, but I think that Flickr is my new website. It's really fun, and alot like facebook in that you can tag others. I would use this in my classroom to upload pics and store them for certain lessons. When it comes to sharing photos, I'd never post something that I didn't want others to see (good/bad). I used myspace in the past to share photos, and I use facebook now. I think that those are more social and definately more public. I like Flickr because it's very safe and private, but you can also decide to share with everyone.
