 * Teachers and students can use these tools to discuss and analyze photos, videos, etc.
 * They can upload pictures or video from their computers, cameras, or from cell phones.
 * It's a great place to store and organize photos and videos; however, it is not entirely secure.
 * Students can then actively engage with the image and think about and discuss specific aspects.
 * Students can organize pictures by tags, specifically in applications such as Flickr.
 * Teachers can encourage collaboration by having students upload pictures about a topic, for example a world heritage site, and invite users to contribute tags to the images.
 * Students can add voice and written commentary to the overall video, picture or documents in applications such as VoiceThread . The comments are sequenced, so that late-comers can follow the dialogue.
 * Students can be encouraged to create their own written scripts for videos or to transcribe scripts from theirs and other students' videos.
