Flickring Classroom Displays

This is a great idea for using Flickr in an educational context for lots of reasons. 3 immediate ones:

1. It always seems a shame taking down a classroom display. Storing them online means there’s some permanence
2. If part of the point of displaying work is to make students feel proud of what they’ve achieved, why not show them you’re proud enough to put their work up in front of the word?
3. I’d been wondering about using Flickr at school. There are real problems at primary level with regards to security and privacy. Of course, I’d not been clever enough to make the leap that you can just show the children’s work.

One thing I do think’s a little bizarre though is this sets’ copyright. All rights reserved? Shouldn’t we be encouraging a creative commons in the classroom?

Anyway, thanks Alec for the link.
