Adding your image to wikispaces
You can add images to your wikispace page a few ways...

Here is a video of a simple way media type="custom" key="17726412"

Here is a sample of photos that came from my flickr account.. You can embed special 'code' from other websites to put into your page... using the Widget button on the edit tool bar in wikispaces. Why not try the video and youtube link widget (it does give you some hints as you try it... see if you can add a Guiding Youtube video in your reflection page. Ask in the discussion thread if you need help :-) media type="custom" key="17726492"

Resizr
www.resizr.com Resizr helps you resize a photo... helps if you need a smaller image for a website or to reduce the size of a file. See this video for a demo on how to resize a photo. The end of the video shows me putting it into a wetpaint website - you can ignore that section. media type="custom" key="17726614"

Google pictures
is a place to store and selectively choose who sees your images (with circles within Google plus)

Go to www.google.com and then look for Google Pictures in the menus at the top of the screen.

Here is a link to an album @ Guide Leader training in Dubbo earlier this year on my Google Pictures

Flickr
www.flickr.com Great for storing, sharing and finding images from around the world. Used the advanced search for finding brilliant images with Copyright.

Here is a collection of photos from Coonabarabran Guide's JOTI Day.
