Flickr is a way to get your photos to the people who matter to you. With Flickr you can:
 * Show off your favorite photos to the world
 * Blog the photos you take with a cameraphone
 * Securely and privately show photos to your friends and family around the world

From: [|Learning Technologies Center] Share photos within a Class, School, Department, Faculty, College or University.
 * How can Flickr be used within your course or discipline?**

Set up a group for your courses - share photos with group members

Architecture/visual arts groups can use the geo-tag feature to share images/locations, etc.

Work with international students - i.e. stimulate discussions on countries of origin

World issues - a map for students - i.e. making it seem like more than a map by using photos and linking to real-life images

Traveling - flickr your journey - share with family, classmates

Use for building community in distance education - i.e. students share images of themselves, where they live, etc. "introduce yourself in flickr" - where you live, work, etc.

Use in Telemedicine for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes.

Use in Anatomical Pathology for diagnostic consultations.

Alan Levine has added this: I've long said that flickr can be the ultimate tool to introduce all the facets of Web 2.0-ish concepts. I've presented on this a number of times; you may find some examples you seek at What Can We Do With flickr? done last October for the K12 Online Conference.

Most underused is the ability to create hyperlinked diagrams with the notes tool -- see examples at http://flickr.com/photos/cogdog/269039506/ there are some interesting ideas for doing visual stories via imagery -- http://flickr.com/photos/cogdog/265788048/ teaching files Xrays - http://www.flickr.com/photos/mjagbayani/sets/895629/

And flickr groups provides a place to share images and have a built in discussion tool- see the one for Flickr in Education-- http://flickr.com/groups/33384223@N00/
