Photo sharing tools allow users to share, organize, and collaborate around their pictures. Students could collect pictures of their bean plants growing in elementary, their East Coast field trip in middle school, or of geometry in nature shots for their math class in high school. We've chosen Shutterfly as our recommended tool for its ease of use and for the fact that its all online without the need for a download.
Photos are shared in albums that users create and grant viewing or editing access to. In a classroom, you'd want to make a share site as the instructor and have students and parents fill in albums with the pictures. A site is like a home base for your class which can hold multiple albums with different purposes.
Take a look at a how-to for setting up a classroom site here, post your public link on your Big-9 blog and brainstorm some ways you can use this in your post also.
