When teaching Web Design or Digital Multimedia classes, students often need photographs to use in the projects we complete in the classroom. By having students sign up for and creating a Flickr account, it would be an easy process for students to do a couple of things in these classes:

1. They would have an easy method to have access to personal photos that could be used in these projects.
2. A Flickr group would allow me as a teacher to allow students access to starting photos that are used in many projects.

By using Flickr along with google docs, much of the class material would allow students access to many of the in-class projects to work on outside of the school.

An example of this is combing photographs to create a montage of photos of a related subject. If students put the majority of their personal photos on Flickr, they could determine which ones to use in the class by adding the photos to the group created for the class.
