I had heard of Flickr before, but never looked at it. It was amazing at the sheer number of photos that were available through Creative Commons. I can tell you that I have never thought of CC when it came to using photos from others, but now that I'm aware, its totally different. Because I teach math and my love of baseball uses a ton of math, I use baseball as a theme in the Spring. So, I chose some baseball pictures in my search of Flickr. I found some really cool pics, but this one is my favorite:
It was taken by Sister72 and can be found at http://www.flickr.com/photos/sis/266718134/
I have to admit that I had some pretty limited ideas on how to use Flickr in the classroom. I figured it would be good for presentations, but David Jakes' blog had some really good thoughts and ideas. Because I teach math it's a little more difficult to use, but I've already got some ideas for geometry like different shapes and angles.
