 * Name of Web Page (Flickr): ** Flickr: How to use it in teaching and learning
 * URL: ** []
 * Annotation: ** The article explains how Flickr is used to manage photos and also “cultivate” a sense of community by sharing photos. By sharing your photos with a community, you are creating new relationships and communication with others. One way to use Flickr in teaching and learning is by giving students the opportunity to display their artistic works and in turn students receive feedback by the community. What a wonderful way for students to display their paintings, photography works, pottery, etc. Students can connect with the subject because Flickr keeps them engaged.
