Record sends the thumbnails as people take photos, and only transfers the full photo when you click on it. That assumes the XO with that photo is still around - or that someone else in the shared session has obtained that photo from the sharer. I've logged #6896 about improving this. I've logged #6897 about joiners getting existing content in the session. I think it depends on #4497, which is a redesign of the collaboration in Record. > *** If you could resume a pre-recorded Record activity *AND* then > share it out, it could be a good way to do photo journal type homework > or research.

Feel free to express your opinions in Trac :) > Maybe if Journal item sharing arrives as some point, this will be a > practical way of generating and sharing similar content. Yes - although that's more transfer of content than collaborating together in the activity (as I understand it).
