10 points for a photo of where you can buy lunch. Bonus points [5] for an alternative place to buy lunch.

5 points each for the signs that indicate which block you are in. Bonus points [5] for a photo of the door to your “classrooms””

Looks good Michael….I will try and think of more. I am also going to copy this out and cut and paste the items so that we have them for the groups on Monday
Cheers

“15pts if you get a pic of an angry librarian”??? Hmm… sounds a bit dangerous to me. I can think of plenty of ways to make a librarian angry, even the most mild mannered. How many librarians do you have? At 15 points per angry librarian I reckon I can win this game hands down! :-)

Yep, I guess that’s where other subjects integrating with each other would help. You do the photo chase, at the end of the day you could recomend to the few keen students that if they wanted to do more, then they should pop in for a day or two on my class, and do a few web 2 things as extra curricula activities

If students had had flickr accounts, I would have had no problem with them uploading their own photos… and learn about copyright/privacy at the same time! problem is (for me at least) i reckon there’s only so much people can take in on their first day…

The private flickr group’s a great idea… will have to try that out for other activities (only where necessary!)

Ask for forgiveness, not permission…

Perhaps you could set the pictures to private, and have them viewable only to a Flickr group, which all your students would have to join..

Thansk for the encouragement people - Jude, Genie and I did it as a team effort :).

I was thinking about uploading the images, but most of them were shots of people, and i didn’t want to go around getting people to sign forms… is there an easier way? So I just uploaded a shot of the ducks and the fire-evacuation point instead… they haven’t complained (yet).

What a great idea Mike!! I’ll be using this one for sure when I’m asked to do an orientation. Could work in almost any situation… Shame you didn’t load pictures to Flickr with the tag “wentworthTAFEorientation” so those who missed out, can at least catch some of it…

[...] On our orientation day (last Monday), we ran a photo chase instead of the typical college tour (which seemed to go really well… got the feeling people found it much more fun and memorable than the typical college tour that we’ve done in the past). Genie organised us into small groups of 3-5, which meant that there were only 4 groups. [...]
