This site is for elementary but can be used by older students as well. Photos must be a certain size to be uploaded to the program. This could be a problem for early elementary students. However, if the teacher saves the photos for the students any adjustments could be made prior to saving. For older students they can easily make the adjustments and re-save the photo using Picnik.com.
As a teaching tool, I would make books for different topics. The book can be used to help introduce the topic then reviewed by the students as needed. My book is about organization in the library and the use of spine labels. This could be expanded to include photos of the various sections in the library. Other topics might be: parts of the book (back cover, front cover, etc OR index, table of contents, etc), reference books and their purpose (dictionary, thesaurus, atlas).
As an assessment tool students could make a book to teach a topic or concept to a younger group of students. Students can use this as a reporting tool after a field trip or at the conclusion of a unit, summarizing what they have learned.
