Photosharing

Definition:
"Photo sharing is a term given to a crop of mid-2000s websites which provide means to publish a collection of digital photos online in a centralized and organized fashion. The term can be applied to online photo galleries, as well as "photoblogs", i.e. weblogs where the journal entries are prominently centered around original images." ([|Wikipedia)]

Examples:
[|Flickr] - [|Alec's Flickr Site] [|Photobucket] [|Fotolog] [|Picnik] (allows you to edit photos online)

For instance, suppose you're a physics teacher doing a unit and roller coaster physics (or perhaps a math teacher doing a unit on parabolas) and you want to bring in a photo of a rollercoaster for use on a quiz or handout. Well, all you'd need to do is go to the Flickr site and search on the keyword "rollercoaster" and your [|results will look like this]∞. (posted on [|The Buzz Blog]∞)
