We’re visiting family at the Jersey Shore, but stopping in DC to take the kids to the Smithsonian and other DC highlights.

On a recent trip to DC, an old friend showed me around a new exhibit at the US Holocaust Memorial Museum (USHMM), From Memory to Action: Meeting the Challenge of Genocide.

We're going to use an Interactive Presentation where we will walk folks through what, what, how, tools, and tricks. We will discuss flickr, tagging, digital photography, flickr contests, participatory media campaigns, and much more. I generally don't like to do traditional panels and we're tweaking the format a bit.
