Still in what I would call Beta, Mbedr is a handy tool to ensure that Flickr embedded notes will show up when you embed the photo on your own site/blog. Some reported glitches, so follow the blog links. For advanced/confident users only. Embedded notes can be used for instructional purposes, especially when students create their own labels.

"Create and embed Flickr slideshows in 3 steps." Insert your Flickr username or URL; Customize your show by selecting sets or tags; hit preview to see it and you are ready to publish.

You can select any pictures in Flickr and add dialogue bubbles to them. Good for projects where students upload their own pictures or select them from a search at Flickr.

You can also blog the archived set of pictures. (See Russell Stannard's video on how to encourage students to use Bubblr for writing: http://www.teachertrainingvideos.com/newBubblr/index.html.)

This is such a great idea! Nina created a page wher we could link or photostream all the Webhead activities at TESOL Boston in 2010. This one is Carla's but the tags will be helpful (see Spezify.com) --EHS

Bookr is a tool to create and share your own photobook using Flickr images. Add images, text, and publish. Creative Commons content only.

This is a great description of how a teacher organized a poetry slam in his high school. Includes a video of the slam and Flickr photos, and detailed directions for how to elicit poetry, ground rules, etc. This is a great way to bring a school together.

Very detailed description of how to create little presentations or posters using Flickr photos, videos, et al. Use Popplet for student projects, brainstorming, creative designs. Also allows you to add captions/text and draw on images you use.

Use Flickr or Picasa to place photos in a Yahoo or Google map.

Free online Photoshop replacement. You need to enable local storage if you are doing more than one upload. Facebook, Flickr Group, and Twitter associated for easy upload. Very simple to use.

A blog post describing how to use Blogsy to post via iPad. With mobile learning on the rise, this seems a good app for anyone to have, although it costs $4.99 currently. You can blog to any of the major services, such as Blogger or Wordpress, and also photo and video share to Picasa, Flickr, YouTube, and Vimeo. Now your mobile students have no excuse not to post to their blogs.

Most of these are ways to create posters or murals for a school project, but also includes Word Draw, a site to create flyers, newsletters, etc., and Picovico, where you can turn photographs from Facebook, Flickr, or a computer, into cool videos using captions, text slides, and their templates.

R. Stannard shows how to use ELT Pics, which is hosted by Flickr. You can also get an email feed to show pictures as they are updated. A nice way to garner resources for writing or student projects. Pictures are crowd-sourced, and curated by EFL teachers. I use pictures often for teaching writing: description, emotions, cultural comparisons, etc.

This is a great digital images project using photos of graffiti on Flickr, and a spreadsheet of questions on Google Forms. Students sign in to select images that will support the ideas they write about. Thanks to Webhead Sasa! Also included are links to posts that Sasa's students made and responses from Rita Z's student sin Argentina. Nice example of collaborative Web 2.0. (Caution, some graffiti have adult language and themes!)

There are several dozen things Big Huge Labs let you do with photos, either on the Internet, or uploaded (if you register), or linked from Flickr or FaceBook: make gifts, art posters, a movie poster, magazine cover, jigsaw, wallpaper, etc. Would be fun for student projects.

Type in a tag and see a world of pictures from Flickr. Snap a screenshot of the globe, and you have a nice logo for a project. This is a fun application, and your students will have even more incentive to create pictures.

A possible replacement for Ning--has a >Migrate Your Ning Network button on the popup. Also supports blog aggregation, a wiki, and Flickr, YouTube, et al. connections.

A map of 333 Web domains, resembling the Tokyo Metro Map.

This is an annual report on trends on the Internet, mapped over a Tokyo subway map. So a very popular company, like Google, is located this year (2009) at Shinjuku and Twitter is at Shibuya, "the station with the biggest buzz." Go figure. Might have interest as a brain teaser or mind puzzle, esp. for students with some knowledge of the Tokyo train system.

Start a discussion by phone or computer, and automatically have it updated to Flickr, Twitter, Blogger, etc.
