In thinking of ways to use flickr to enhance my classroom projects, I think the best use of it would be for our egyptian scrapbooks or our tourist brochures. From what I understand many images pulled from google image search can be copyrighted or inappropriate. However, by using flickr I can get safe images and quality ones from all over the world. In the Egyptian scrapbook the students make a book and each page has picture of something from Egypt that interest them and then a paragraph about it. We could do it on the internet this year by making an Egyptian Wiki and pulling the photos from Flickr. When we study Africa the students make a travel brochure about a country in AFrica. We could pull photos from flickr for this.
Our school has a class digital camera. I could see each students making an account on Flikr and storing pictures they have take around the school for use on a wiki as well.

Neat notion. I wonder if you couldn't invite someone from the Flickr community to assist you in getting some of those desired shots. Perhaps they could be your foreign exchange sister city or something.
