The First KSB Mobile Photo Scavenger Hunt
Format: Groups of 3 students — at least one with an internet capable camera cell phone
Goal: To get a taste of mobile social networking using Flickr
Contents: Each team searches for photos to satisfy the "clues" for the scavenger hunt
Get Ready
- Form your teams!
- One team member creates a Flickr Account (http://www.flickr.com)
- Set up “Upload by Email” in Flickr (http://www.flickr.com/account/uploadbyemail/). In the field that says “Add these tags each time” enter KSBSH.
- Join the KSB Scavenger Hunt Group (http://www.flickr.com/search/groups/?q=ksb+scavenger+hunt&m=names)
Get Set
- Enter the email address from #3 above as a contact in your team "game phone"
- Take a photo of your team and email it to the contact you just set up
- Update your "buddy icon" on flickr with your group photo (http://www.flickr.com/iconbuilder/?from=personal)
- Click on your group photo and make the title "item0". Then select the icon/button (above the photo) that says "Send to Group". Send the photo to the KSBSH group.
Go!
Be back by 1:15pm (this includes your 15 minute break)
It's Not Over Yet
- Login to flickr and click "Organize" (All Your Content)
- Make sure all your photos have the correct titles (item1 through item10)
- Add descriptions to your photos if you think it's helpful
- Select all your photos and click "Send to Group". Choose the Group KSBSH.
- Geocode (add Locations) to a few of your photos to see what GPS would have done for you.
The Finale
- See everyone’s photos at the Group page http://www.flickr.com/groups/ksbsh/pool/
- In the search box, type "item1" to see all photos for item1 of the scavenger hunt (and so on)
- As a class, we'll pick the winner for each item. The group to get the most winners, wins the scavenger hunt.
