There are so many ways you could use Flickr in the classroom. If you students were looking for particular images, they could search the tags on the Flickr website. If you wanted to create a virtual photo album of the things you are doing in class, you could utilize Flickr. The great thing is that you don't have to use the same computer to gain access to these photos. I can see my students having a lot of fun with this.
The down side again for me is Internet safety. Posting pictures online, in a public forum, causes concern for me. If at all possible, I would enable the private feature to ensure that only parents and students could access the photos relating to my classroom.
There is a private feature. You can invite who you want and keep everyone else out.
