Changes

Key:  Additions   Deletions
To provide a framework I have posted here some of my ideas on getting the project started. Please provide your thoughts an insights so we can build a consensus and move ahead.

ShouldThe ourproject uses a Flickr sitethat beis Public orbut Publicyou can contribute by invitation only.
My thought is given our various AUP that we can provide better control with Public by invitation

After I set up the group each of us can be promoted to administrator

Start Date? Monday Feb 5
Project NameName: Photo-A-Day for Schools
What
{What shall we call this project when I sign up for our flickr group?As David pointed out School Photo a Day does not leave a very appealingAny acronymbetter Spadsuggestions)

Suggestions please........
I've played with some ideas but I am not sure how clever or descriptive we want to be...one simple idea is Daily Photos Connecting Schools DPCS

[Ruby] I've been wondering about "We have exciting real education" - WHERE

What else should we add?
Project Guidelines ( some of these ideas come from the Project 365 guidelines)

  • Take a picture a every school day
  • Post the pictures at least once a week
  • Photos numbered, dated and with a brief title to describe the picture for example #1 / 5 Feb 2007: Math in the school yard.
  • Tag photos in Flickr using: school-photo-a-day spad05Feb07pads05Feb07
{Obviously, change the date in the tag to reflect the day the photo was taken!}
  • Weekly challenges- we can take turns writing them
  • Use the comments and discussions to promote interaction
  • Since we are dealing with children follow basic safety precautions- no full names or identifying data

[Ruby] We need to have some kind of start date and end date that would be possible for lots of people, given that in an international context terms will be at different times. Could there be a weekly challenge, and then a monthly summary/best-of ... so that a school could pull out without feeling that they've let down the project?
