Flickr made some changes to its free accounts recently that limited how much content could be stored. A change has just been added to how this limit is determined. Now, images assigned a Creative Commons license will not be deleted should the the capacity limit for a free account be exceeded. I think this is a great benefit for educators.
I have paid for a Flickr paid account and think educators could use some of the photos I have collected over the years. I different photos for family/friends and public view, but I keep forgetting public view is not the same as a Creative Commons license. The latter would determine what comes up in a search and what can be downloaded for use. I am going to have to take some time to offer some of my photos with a license. Creating a free classroom account and designating images for use would be a great way to help students understand copyright and Creative Commons licenses

I added the creative commons designation from a computer and was unable to find a way to do so from a mobile device. Perhaps there is a setting I was missing.
