[|Flickr] is an on-line photo storage application. Not only can you store your own personal photos, but you can also use the photos that have been stored by others to create lessons in your classroom or library. Flickr offers a great resource of pictures taken around that world that can serve as an amazing supplement to any unit on geography, science, or culture.

[|Gimp] is a free program that allows users to edit and modify photographs. You could use this tool to assist students in a project where they have to crop or create captions for photos, use it to edit pictures for a yearbook or newspaper production class or create custom enhancements to personal photos. Librarians could use this program to edit photos before putting them on their website, in creating presentations for staff or students or for creating promotional materials for a reading or library event.
