How I Would Use This Tool: This is a great tool. Personally I would use this site to back up all my photos and then to have them organised so I can get them with ease. It is also great to use to share the photos with family and friends. The slide show embedding is great for me as I can use this in other websites.
For the classroom, it would be a great way to keep the class in touch with the parents. You could make a private page to share the photos that are taken in class and on excursions (permitting that there are no at risk children in the class).
