this looks great Jedd
Some of our kids are using picture trail in their blogs but i found that limited you to only about 8 pics. Splashr is good as it links to yr flickr photos so u don’t need to upload stuff in different places & will display any number but i couldn’t work out how to embed it in my page it links off to a different page & then i found that what was successful one day was an error page 3 days later… as i said in Derek’s blog the list keeps growing not only in the interactive spaces - blogs, wikis, myspace sort of stuff but the multimedia tools that let you add to that. I find now some of our kids have been blogging for awhile they are checking out other sites to see what cool things they can add to it (doing it myself 2) u know the world map that grows more measles everyday, embedding video, sound, links to what ur listening to and so on. I wish someone would pay me to do just this i am totally captivated

From the point of view of kid’s use of these tools and applications it seems (not surprisingly) to get easier for them by the month. Many are designed to integrate easily into social networking sites, so I expect that’ll be where we see kids pick them up and experiment with embedding mutimedia in the wiki-type environments. The trick is getting schoolsite-based intranet/LMS online learning envirionments where kids can do this easily and safely.
