The Ins and Outs of Flickr: ABeginner’s Introduction
Education has always been defined by limits — what could be accomplished within the confines of the information that could literally be carried in by hand. Today, the information flows, and there is no more exciting, dynamic, rapidly growing, and media-rich resource today than Flickr. An online photo album site, Flickr is now receiving more than 2.5 million new photos a day from photographers from all over the world. This workshop will assist beginners in setting up a free Flickr account, learn to upload photos, tag them for organizing and distribution, and also how to use the service as a springboard for activities, even if the site is blocked in your school or district. In addition, participants will be exposed to a dizzying array of associated tools that have emerged around this landmark social service.

- Flickeur - Every Picture Tells a Story
Flickeur (pronounced like Voyeur) randomly retrieves images from Flickr.com and creates an infinite film with a style that can vary between stream-of-consciousness, documentary or video clip. All the blends, motions, zooms or timeleaps are completely random. Flickeur works like a looped magnetic tape where incoming images will merge with older materials and be influenced by the older recordings' magnetic memory. The virtual tape will also play and record forward and backward to create another layer of randomness. This principle will create its own sometimes very suggestive or scary story. It might take a few minutes until the tape has accumulated enough material to not show any empty screens anymore.
