Flickr and Piknic

Well I had fun with with Flickr and Piknic. Flickr has tones of images available and these would be fabulous for teachers and students to have. Often when describing/explaining information we need pictures and this site offer a wide selection. Here is what I did with a photo I took in Japan, Piknic allowed me to sharpen the image and not only make in feel more warm but to make it clear also.

This would also be a good tool to share a picture to multiple people other than e-mail.

I could also see this as being good for High School art students doing, they can use this sight to give them inspiration on something the can create. Also this gives them and idea on what they could possibly do with photo shop if doing photography. If you could make private groups (not shared with world) this sight would be a good way to have students post and comment on others art work. With the selection tool students can leave a comment about parts of a picture/painting. They can also use it to gain knowledge about others work and ask how the got certain effects or meaning behind certain things included. It would also be a great way to show their works to another person as it has easy access and is all in one place.
