Ongoing Assignment: DigiCreate on Flickr

Once a week, at minimum, upload a picture to the class flickr account that either documents some dimension of your work for the class, or engages with the ideas in the readings or class discussions in some way (it can be a very loose way!) Have fun with the notes option, or the Flickr picnik editing option, to play with your images, and feel free to comment on each other’s images. You can send pictures directly to flickr via your phone also, if you like.

Here’s a step by step guide for the digicreate flickr assignment:

  1. To start off, sign up for an account on flickr (unless you have one already that you want to use) and (this part is VERY important!) email me with your flickr name, so I know who you are!
  2. Then, join the DigiCreate group here: http://www.flickr.com/groups/digicreate/
  3. Once a week, at minimum, upload a photo to flickr *and* share it with the DigiCreate group.
  4. Your photos can encompass anything loosely connected with the class focus on digital creativity and everyday media culture and technology. But if you’re in search of inspiration for what photos to take, here are ten memes you could fill (and refill, and refill again, if you choose!)
  • (Favorite, or current) study location
  • What’s in my bag
  • What’s on my ipod/mp3 player/etc.
  • What’s on my computer screen
  • Oh vermont
  • Vermont technologies
  • Classroom boards
  • What’s on my TV screen
  • Notebook page
  • Life of a middkid
  • Documenting caffeine intake

One photo a week is just the minimum. Any extra flickr posting or commenting etc. is extra credit. Also, do consider using Flickr’s various options such as including notes within or beneath photos, or editing photos with all sorts of effects on picnik.
