1) Regarding Flickr: "Brooks suggests all sorts of activities: For example, "photo field trips," in which students search for images from a certain part of the world from at least three different people and then put them together in a power point presentation with reflection on what they found." (p. 107 Richardson)
2) Regarding Geobloggers: "So if you go to Geobloggers and put in the latitude and longitude...up will pop a map that includes links to every photo that's been posted for the area." (p. 109 Richardson)
"That is the power of Read/Write Web..." (p. 109 Richardson)

I like Richardson's idea to have students take pictures on field trips and bring them back to share via Flickr. Pictures, along with a short written report can really make the field trip more memorable and educational.
I agree with Kim, it would be useful to have students take pictures during field trips and make their own reports on flickr instead of just writing a typical one to two page report about their favorite exhibit at the museum. I also think it is great that students don't have to leave the room to take a field trip, we can find interesting places on Flickr!
