It is wonderful what you can do in Flickr!
I downloaded this photo from Creative Commons and edited it with Picnik (I added the borders and the bubble effect).

Imagine what the children would do with these effects in the classroom! I then uploaded the photo and created a post by using a link to my blog. This was so easy!. I also used the Flickr gadget on my blog to display my recent photostreams and my friends can also use the Flickr link to view my sets.
A set is a grouping of photos and videos that you can organize around a certain theme, such as Whistler 2009. It is very similar to organising your events on the Mac computers. You can use them to highlight your favorite photos and videos, or make an album that is only pictures of your class, or of photos and videos you've taken with a particular camera.
When you upload a photo or video to Flickr, you need to choose between two types of Content Filters- Safety Level and Content Type. For example, if you want to upload a screenshot of a web page, you can, but you need to flag it as a screenshot.Putting your content into these categories means that everyone can then apply filters to searches they do to make sure they're seeing what they want to see.
SafeSearch is a feature that allows you to control what turns up in your searches on Flickr. For example,when you are browsing around if you come across a photo that's outside your SafeSearch, you won't see the image.
Tags are like keywords or labels that you add to a photo to make it easier to find later.
Creative Commons licenses are a sure way of understanding copyright issues. In my favourite websites, I have also made a couple of links regarding internet safety for parents, teachers and children
