I had -some time ago - been using Picaso as a quick tool to do some basic editing as well as email / share photos online.
I think the flckr tool is fantastic for both personal and school use. Sharing and being able to display your non-personal photography with the world is fantastic. As a Photography and Media teacher, this is a great way to encourage students to take pride in their photography, share it with friends or get it out into the world. As a source of images, this site has endless possibilties. It's a great otivational tool as well as one to draw on for inspiriation and idea development.
Using it as a tool to encourage students to develop some critical thinking and analysis can be a lot of fun and greeat for students to build confidence when offering their thoughts and ideas on other work. They really get a buz when they see something of their own come up for discussion.

As far as copyright is concerned. I have always taught the importance of students creating their own original material. For a simple learning exercise, using existing work is OK, but for assessments, especialy when creating major works, or anything that is to be shared over the net, all work must be theirs, down to the original photo. I have also placed a link on the MY CLASSES page for PDM on copyright for photography and art.
