To quote Will Richardson in his book Blogs, wikis, Podcasts, and Other Powerful Web Tools for Classrooms (3rd edition):
"Imagine not only being able to put your own or your students' photos on the Web to share with other audiences- what if you could invite other people from around the globe to have discussions about those images? What if you and your students could annotate them with your descriptions and observations? What if you could become a part of a community that contributes images of similar topics for you to consume? And what if you could consume those images via an RSS feed so anytime a new picture was added about a topic you were studying it would automatically come to you?"
