Flickr account created

I've had success today in creating a Flickr account. Still have to find my way around the site and upload some photos. I found a YouTube explanation of some of the features of Flick which you may wish to look at.
______________
A YouTube Video on How to Use Flickr
Jeff Utecht, a teacher and blogger at The Thinking Stick put together a video tutorial on how to use Flickr, then published it to YouTube:

(or access via URL converted by tinyurl.com.au http://tinyurl.com.au/x.php?1vp9 )(thanks Sue for telling me about this feature)

It provides step by step instructions on how to use Flickr, followed by tips on how Flickr can be used in a classroom setting, and shows off a few cool applications that have been built using Flickr's API.
Using YouTube to explain Flickr. How Web 2.0 of him. That's something that should be added to del.icio.us, or published on Digg.

Still on the wikis

I have accessed the LEARNwiki Sandbox to add a couple of comments. It took me a few minutes to figure out how to add my own comments but I achieved this. To find out more about using and configuring a Wiki I am developing one of my own called "subjectconnect" where I will see if I can add information and links that are useful for some subject areas. It's just begun and I will work on it over a period of time as I get time. Feel free to suggest some links and content if you wish. The main areas I will cover are in the Engineering field.
