Share Photos of class and school events using Flickr. This service allows you to embed photos in a blog, web site and share them via RSS. It’s a great way to give parents a peek into their children’s school day.
You can also grab feeds from interesting local photographers and bring them into the classroom for discussion, or for writing inspiration. My current favourite feed is photographer Sam Javanrouh.
