I love the Commoncraft shows. They are really
creative and make complicated web 2.0 topics simple to understand. The latest Commoncaft show is on
online photo sharing. The video specifically uses Flickr as an example and also has an
excellent description of tagging.
I have embedded the video
below (but as its You Tube you may not be able to see it in schools).

shows are:

Hi Ollie,
They're certainly creative and explain the topics well but I find them really excruciating to watch because of his voice - I still haven't managed to watch the one on RSS all the way through because if it - I may be alone in this but something about him just grates with me.
What if pupils could recreate a similar video themselves...

Hi Stuart - good to hear from you. I like your idea about students making their own versions. I agree the accent is a little annoying, but I still think the concept is great. Hope to see you soon. OB
