We’ve got a lot of disk space and bandwidth available at usefulwiki, so we don’t need to rely on external hosting for pictures. There’s nothing wrong with uploading digital pictures to flickr.com and then displaying them here, but it’s nice to be able to offer the facility to upload directly, in the same way that, for example, wikipedia does.
But we haven’t just enabled the uploading of photographs, oh no. Get this - you can also share Word documents and pdf files at usefulwiki through the same upload system.
This means that at last there is a system available for educators, assistants and parents to easily share and write about educational resources without having to first register, login and email adminstrators with attachments then wait for the owner to get around to approving and uploading your stuff. This opens up enormous possibilities for usefulwiki.com to make big strides forward in building relationships between remote educators, resources and practices.
