In the post she wrote about Tag Galaxy, and so I had to try it. You simply enter a tag, it connects to Flickr and grabs photos with that tag, then it creates a globe for you which you can then rotate. Here is a picture of one that I made (I just took a screen shot and edited it in Irfanview then uploaded it here to my blog) and short video of another one I made to show you how it rotates:

You can also click on individual images to make them bigger:

and then again to make them even bigger and be able to read the description from Flickr:

I just think this is fabulous! A great visual for students - you could use it to discuss the relationships of images to each other, as a way to get them to express their interests to you. Tag Galaxies are great visuals for projects, blog posts and anything really!

I’d love to hear your ideas for using this  - especially in a languages classroom!
