Over on the right is Ms. Miller from Dowling Elementary in Minneapolis--the Media Specialist in the media center where I did the elementary portion of my practicum.
I'm not sure I was really understanding the value of Flikr until I saw what the Clemens and Alcuin libraries are doing. What a great idea to take pictures of the books and then tag the books and also provide links to their catalog to see if the book is actually available. I think this scenario could be used for a school library, too. Book displays on certain themes could be photographed and tagged. Past displays could be accessed at any time. I think this would be very useful for middle school and high school. It's free, it's quick and easy to set up, etc. And an entire class or grade could have the ability to access it.
As far as using Flickr personally, I'm more interested in creating a password protected website for family and friends where I can post photos.
