I really like Photojojo’s Time Capsule service. The email me once a month a reminder of what I posted to Flickr one year ago. You can get your own time capsule here http://photojojo.com/timecapsule/
Photojojo has a great blog of fun things to do with all of your digital pictures. One of my favorites is the Time Capsule where they send you your most interesting pictures from time period you choose. Mine is currently set for 1 year.
Thought I would share this costume idea that I have used a couple of times at my schools. It is super easy and inexpensive. It’s a rollercoaster. Well just one seat from the rollercoaster. We had great fun miming the ride going up hills, around corners and screaming all the way. Some of the kids just thought it was the best time to try it out. You should be able to figure it out by looking at these pictures. let me know if you have any questions.
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. http://www.flickr.com/groups/den/
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.
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.
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.
what you see?
