One lesson plan that I found online is for use for elementary students, but it can be adjusted for upper grade levels. The students would work in groups to find pictures for new verbs (ie. run, jump, sing, dance) that they were learning. This activity involved students using the Internet and Flikr’s search to locate pictures that illustrated the verbs that they were learning. The students would create a slide show from the pictures that they have selected for each of the new verbs.
Flickr can also be use to teach geometry. Students can locate pictures or take pictures of buildings, bridges or other objects that illustrate shapes and angles that are used in geometry. For example, the student might use a picture of the Pentagon located in Virginia, because it is shaped like a pentagon. The teacher could create a class group in Flickr, upload pictures for the students to access and identify the shapes and angles.

Great job, Tracey. Someone else mentioned a language based lesson similar to this. This would be a great ACTION verb in relation to state or occurrence. The geometry/architecture lesson is great too and someone mentioned the possibility of uploading from cell phones so a teacher wouldn't even need access to cameras.
