Flickr: Flickr 888
I love, love, love Flickr. I think if a teacher wants to have a digital camera in their classroom they must sign up for a Flickr account. There are just too many ways to use the photos not to require it. If I could, I would forbid printing the pictures using the color printers at school. You take digital pictures - USE THEM DIGITALLY.
Well now Flickr also does cool projects that you can say you were a part of. So join in the fun. Coming up in just over a week is Flickr 888. How cool is that? Here here is what they posted on their blog.
How can you participate? Take a photo any time during the twenty-four hour period that’s August 8th where you are and then share it with the group. We’ll accept one (1) contribution per Flickr member into the group from noon PST Friday, August 8th until Tuesday, September 2nd, noon PST, 2008.
Let me know when you post a picture so I can see it. Don’t forget to join the Discovery Educator Network group on Flickr to post pictures from any DEN events you attend this year.

NASA - Solstice Moon Illusion
Heads up or at least look to the horizon to see the moon appear extra large. So grab your cameras and start snapping those photos. If you get a picture then put a link to it in the comments.
Check out the NASA link above to see an explanation about why the moon looks bigger during the month of June.

Fun by Fred Delventhal
Photojojo is a photo blog that always has great tips. This is one of their recent findings.
I just signed up for Photojojo. Why? For fun. Do you remember what you were doing 6 months ago? How about a year ago? 2 years ago? Well if you take a lot of pictures and use Flickr, Photojojo is the person that takes the photo album off the shelf, blow the dust off, and says “Remember this picture? Wasn’t this fun?”
It really was easy to do and fun to see the photos they picked from a year ago. Psssst I think they made them look better because I don’t remember taking such great looking photos.
Here’s what you see at their web site. http://www.photojojo.com/timecapsule/
Then you get an email with a few of your pictures from a year ago. Wait! At the bottom is a text box where you can actually send yourself a message that will arrive with your photos in a year or two years depending on the time frame you set. This is what mine looked like.
Once you click the Talk to the Future button you get this page.
