http://www.wacona.com/digicam/digicam.html One idea that I got from this site was in order to integrate digital photography into a Kindergarten class, assign each student a letter from the alphabet. Then go around the school and have the students find something that starts with their letter. Then create an alphabet flip chart with the photos.

http://pegasus.cc.ucf.edu/~ucfcasio/qvuses.htm This website had a great idea for older students. The focus of the activity is on the community. Assign each student a different area of the community and have them do a research report on it that includes photographs. You could even take the students on a field trip around the community and take photos as a class. I thought that this was a great way to incorporate digital photos into the Social Studies curriculum.

http://picasa.google.com/ I like picasa because it coincides with g-mail. It is also a pretty intuitive website to use.

This site allows you to share and create power points with multiple users. This is something that can also be accomplished with photography or videos.

If you use iGoogle for a home page, there is a Flickr gadget you can add that allows you to see your activity and you contacts images.

here's the link http://www.google.com/ig/directory?hl=en&url=warmbrain.com%2Fgadgets%2Fflickr.xml I've been using it for a couple of weeks and it seems to work pretty well.
