This document discusses using photo sharing tools like Flickr for teaching and learning. It describes how a teacher at GippsTAFE set up a Flickr account and group for their students to share photos of their painting and decorating work. Over 40 apprentices participated, with some adding photos regularly and others only when prompted. The photo sharing allowed students to document and reflect on their learning, see peers' work, and reduced repetition. It also benefited teachers by providing authentic examples and increasing student engagement. Employers could see workshop activities and it improved their understanding of the training.
