I've used a couple of Flickr apps - flickr sendr which only lets me choose from my 'Saved photos' (i.e. screen shots from the iPad) and not my 'Photo Library'(i.e. photos transferred onto the iPad) and also the Flickr app . use (which allows uploads from both). So, I'd recommend the latter ...<br /><br />See http://www.flickr.com/photos/antmcneill/ for the two examplesTony McNeillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10663381445957728087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7465719878040106150.post-9038060750064543392010-06-10T19:59:16.511+01:002010-06-10T19:59:16.511+01:00You can certainly upload to Flickr, picasa and man...You can certainly upload to Flickr, picasa and many other services - but need 3rd party apps to do so. I believe there's an iPhone app for blackboard (not checked) and more sure there's one for moodle (or being developed) - but no idea if either of these support uploading files. <br /><br />Perhaps the answer is not to upload files to those services but use cloud services to host them (drop box, google docs etc) which definitely have many apps that support them and then provide links to these locations?<br /><br />I have another issue with a strange psychological effect I'm fininding with the iPad - where as with an iPhone I would take lots of notes in meetings or presentations, with the iPad I find it sits on my lap and I forget to actually use it, so paradoxically I'm taking fewer and worse notes despite the improved tools! - I plan to blog about this soon once I've reflected on it further....if I get around to it on the iPad :)Nick Sharratthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12838179138437644320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7465719878040106150.post-34222550318521384912010-06-10T18:14:15.951+01:002010-06-10T18:14:15.951+01:00Are we saying that the existing iPhone apps like W...Are we saying that the existing iPhone apps like Wordpress don't work on an iPad?<br /><br />We're working on an iPhone/iPad application to distribute assessments and RLO's as well as allow students to post blogs and their assessment responses to an e-portfolio.Robert Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13023476263644075265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7465719878040106150.post-24298939248461773222010-06-10T15:37:06.814+01:002010-06-10T15:37:06.814+01:00I would imagine some enterprising developer will c...I would imagine some enterprising developer will come along with a solution for uploading files to Blackboard, Moodle etc? Don't know whether something like Goodreader or Dropbox might do the trick (with added functionality) but you seem to be right, unless I've missed something there is no way to upload files from Safari. Still, I think its also good to focus on what it CAN do for staff rather than focus too much on the (real and important) weaknesses.Joolshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04420781697398768674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7465719878040106150.post-75996414554259590912010-06-10T14:19:40.849+01:002010-06-10T14:19:40.849+01:00Me too.

I've got documents - videos, pictures etc. on the iPad but I've no way of uploading any file on the iPad to Blackboard, Elgg, Wordpress (to mention Kingston University hosted services) as well as third-party sites like Flickr and Facebook. Really annoying as the experience of using Safari on the iPad is Macbook-pro like and you expect to be able to do everything you can on a regular Mac.
