I would love to use Flickr to allow my students to see Math all around them. My advanced class did a project where they looked for right triangles around their house and had to draw the object and the right triangle. They then used the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for the hypotenuse. A few of my students took pictures instead of drawing them and then drew their triangle on it. Flickr would be a perfect use for this project.
My French students also made Buche de Noel over our December break. They emailed me their pictures, but the files were so large it would have been easier for all of us if they would have posted them to Flickr and to my Blog.
I like to see how you are going to use Flickr in the classroom. Let me know when are using them.
