A while back I made a simple flickr search tool this is not as slick as some of the beautiful search tools out there but it was designed for pupils to use to get images to embed into their blogs and to create the attribution, clicking on a thumbnail gives this:
Which has a text box with the html code to embed the image and attribution, you can choose to align left of right and to use small or medium images.
The tool if far from perfect an needs quite a lot of work but it has proved useful to quite a few folk and I believe used in glow training by LTS. Recently at the suggestion of a fellow ADE I added a more somber style to the rather bright colours I had used (a link at the top right of the page toggles the styles and sets a cookie to remeber your preferences).
At the Scottish Learning festival I was delighted to see Neil Winton's pupils using my tool and working with the images. This gave rise to the thought that it might be useful to create images that could be used without the embed code that show attribution. I've added a feature, above you can see stamp medium and stamp original links. Clicking on these will produce an image with the attribution stamped on.

So I am wondering would this be useful in your class and two, is this legal (stamping a No Derivs photo? ) and is the wording (Flickr photo by name - license) and I would appreciate your comments on both of these questions.
I've had this installed for a few days now, but the flurry of snow tweets (the #uksnow Map 2.0 is looking great) reminded me to try the live streaming from my iPhone to USTREAM.
I must say I was surprised at how well it went. This was using a wireless connection and a G3 not G3s iPhone. I think the quality is not too bad especially after I turned the phone the right way up. A stand would have helped rather than a pile of videos(sic), dvds and books. The twitter integration is good too.
We’ve received multiple tips right around 10 pm that Twitter was hacked and defaced with the message below. The site is currently offline. We’re looking into this and waiting on a response from Twitter.
John and I are passionate about podcasting and digital audio; we feel that the range of technology used by contributors to SLFtalk 'lowers the bar' to publishing a variety of audio online and we hope that others experiment with these ways of gathering voices (John calls it "guerrilla podcasting"!).
which sums up the idea.
We have extended the idea with EDUtalk using the same technology and opening the scope out.
Fell free to give us your vote for 'Best educational use of audio' it is really a vote for all the contributors to the post cast over the 2 days at SLF and look out for some EDUtalk news soon.
Feel free too to contribute audio on any educational topic to EDUtalk.
