I think that Flickr will be quite useful in my ESOL classroom.  I like the suggestion from one of the Flickr articles about using Flickr for teaching vocabulary.  Visuals really help ESOL students understand the differences between words that are quite similar in meaning, e.g. meander vs walk vs amble, etc., which Flickr would do.  As a L.A. teacher, the article describing creating Flickr inspired poetry is a great idea, one I believe my students would enjoy doing, as they really like poetry.   Forgot to add this when first published: photo credit – Jessica – hellobutterfly.com
