Flickr safe... ??

How can educators make sites like Flickr safe for their students?

As an educator, the teacher can limit the use of the search button. Therefore the students can not search inappropriate material. The teacher can also filter who can see certain pictures and information by blocking individuals with the Flickr's group tool. Groups can be open to everyone or by invitation only. This keeps information safe. In the end teachers really need to thank Flickr, itself, for keeping their students safe because this program is always developing new privacy tools and continues to develop new school-friendly tools, such as GeoTagging.
