Flickr and Administrators

Try as they may, administrators can't remember everything! They need help, and they need a place to put things that they will be where they're needed, when they're needed.

When a flyer needs to be made to advertise the school fundraiser, photos are needed to show how enthusiastic students can become when raising funds for their school.

When they need examples of students using Science supplies so PTA members will be willing to help purchase more of what teachers need to hold more of the labs, photos need to be handy.

If a quick presentation is needed to show off what the band has been doing, there's little time to take good quality pictures that will make everything look authentic.

Flickr is not only a way to keep all of the photos and videos an administrator will need to resolve any of these scenarios, but it's also a chronological record of what's happening at the school.

Students love to see themselves, but especially like to look back to the past to see how much they've grown and progressed. A Flickr account for the school allows student to make great memories, and then go back and reminisce over a great experience.
