**__Classroom Uses__**

There are many classroom uses for Flickr. I am in charge of the yearbook and take many pictures troughout the year. With the use of this website I can now put all the pictures into catagories. Flickr can help with electives, such as photography, and can be used in other fields of teaching. It can be used for making flashcards, single image writing prompts, creating slideshows, and using this site with google earth technology.
