Digital Photography Class using Flickr to showcase art
A teacher in our middle school is running a digital photography elective. She came to me a week ago and asked about a place to host the pictures for all to see and to share with the wider school community.

It is not a total experience, but it does allow me to utilize tags and comments if I see fit. I’ll definitely do this when we set up the Gallery/Drupal photo site for our 4th and 5th grade students.
