Flickr isn’t just for family vacation photos anymore.

The Library of Congress has announced that it has put up a collection of over 3,000 of its most popular photos from its collection onto Flickr, the flagship of online photo sharing sites.

These are all marked as “No known copyright restriction” so feel free to use them in class & for projects.

Here’s one of Bugs Raymond to celebrate today, Feb 14, as pitchers and catchers report to Spring Training.

Just found a fascinating new product called Prologue, which is part team project site, and part Twitter-like micro information site. It is made by the creators of Wordpress.com, and based somewhat on the WordPress model. (A first review is on ZDNet.)

Everything in it is taggable and RSS enabled, too.

Sounds like this would be an interesting tool for group and class projects that are highly interactive and require lots of interaction outside of class.

We all know how dull Blackboard discussion boards are: simply assigning them as tasks doesn’t make the quality of discourse much better.

Why not take a fresh approach with a group Twitter-like tool? Here’s a Prologue demo. Hope it is available soon.
