I can definitely see the benefit of photo sharing sites for our photography, journalism and yearbook classes just to name a few. From a technology standpoint, I'm wondering if this would free up space on our network by having students save their photos out on the web to use for school projects?? Seems like it would also be easier for them to save and organize the photos this way as well if they're not doing so already.
Overall, photo sharing seems like a great way to add a visual component to teaching and learning through slideshows and images. Teachers can have students comment on what they are seeing and use it as a tool for creative writing. Photo sharing can be used to tell a story or to add to a story and engage students in the learning process. I've seen photo sharing used on social networking sites such as Facebook, so many of our students are probably already familiar with it. Finding ways to use it educationally could truly motivate students and get them excited to learn!
