In learning about applying tags through Delicious and Flikr, it appears that these activities will be a help to both teachers and students. The student can tag information or pictures they may wish to use for class projects. The teacher can tag sites, pictures and videos that seem relavent to future lesson planning.
No longer will a file cabinet need to be filled with material that may be needed at a latter date. Both pictures and documents can be instantly saved on the internet and recalled when teachers are planning lessons or when students are sharing information with each other for a class project. The sharing aspect should be a big help to teachers once colleagues are aware of this aspect of Delicious and Flickr. I have a lot to learn about this process, but it does seem like a very quick(time saving) way to save, organize and share documents of interest. I definitely need some time saving and organizing assistance.

I love using Flickr, but whether it is a teacher tool only or a tool for both teachers and students would depend on your school's philosophy about how much filtering we should provide. Your district may feel obliged to filter heavily due to Erate. If so, your students might not have access to Flickr due to the nature of some of the photos. It would be convenient to have a G-rated version of Flickr!
