I signed our Junior School up nearly 12 months ago and this year have uploaded hundreds of photos. I keep expecting an email to tell me I've gone over the limit, but Jeff's post reminds me that it is unlimited! Our photos are viewable by anyone but they can't be found by searching, this helps to keep it a little bit private. The web address is given out to parents and they are encouraged to download whatever images they like. It's been much more efficient than the process I used to use to get them on our Intranet and students can see them and share them at home.

Unlimited online storage for that price is a bargain and something that all schools could put to good use. I dont think it would be too hard to put a case towards your district for unblocking Flickr. There are worse things out there for sure... Some great ideas there on how to use Flickr, especially if it is within the terms and conditions of their TOS.

I'd like to know how you convinced your district to allow access to the site? We were told there is no way to filter the pornographic photos from children. Our school district blocks flickr.

Most sites prohibit the sharing of a premium account login- a logical business model. I perused the TOS but couldn't read through all the legal jargon to make a judgment on this- besides, it would be a jury or judge's call that really matters. I know that for my district, this is not something we'd ever do without express written consent from Flickr/Yahoo. Do you have that written permission or are you subscribing to the philosophy of "don't ask, don't tell" here? It seems to me that you'd really want to cover your tail!
