Searching for permissible photos is very cumbersome. It takes quite a while to search each option. But without searching that way, I couldn't tell what permissions were available. I think this would take a lot of time in class.
Of course, I couldn't decide what I pictures I wanted or even what key words to start searching. I also played with uploading my little one's pictures. They're too big, though, so I need to use software at home to make them smaller files. At least, I think that's the problem. I really like that you can share photos and determine your own level of security for them. Also, others can download them for free. I need to move all the baby pics here and get the family to join the group.
Regarding education, I can see giving a photo assignment and having kids comment on them within a group. It would also be neat to take photos of products and post them here for parents.
I couldn't figure out how to get a text box beside the photo to give credit. I decided to hotlink the photo to the Flickr site when I couldn't figure out another solution.

your solution would work!
if you are in the Flickr Creative commons searching for copyright-friendly images is easy ...they are ALL copyright-friendly...the photographers have given permission to use!
see if this info doesn't help

hummmmm? part of the url is cut off. usually they wrap. anyway here is the rest
...and+Save+Images
I should have been more specific about it being difficult. Searching within each different category is time consuming. I would like it if all the Creative Commons could be searched as one large group instead of separate ones.
Thanks for the info - I didn't use the "size" options for the pictures which would have saved me time!
