We're going to use an Interactive Presentation where we will walk folks through what, what, how, tools, and tricks. The session will be very hands-on, participants will be encouraged to their cameras, laptops, and clips. We will discuss flickr, tagging, digital photography, flickr contests, participatory media campaigns, and much more.
