A few Q&A's

[Maria Droujkova]

We had great time searching for SQUARES&FRIENDS at the Kids Together park yesterday. The next meeting is at 10am Tuesday February 8th at the Observation Deck of the RDU Airport!

Here are a few fun info pieces about the game:

• SQUARES quests and tags are up at the wiki: http://naturalmath.wikispaces.com/MathTrekResearchTriangle
• You can continue doing quests on your own, and sharing pictures about these topics
• Congratulations to Borogove M.D., Le, Sauron and LeapDancer on Level 2!

• Adding tags ("naming of things") is a great activity for reflection on ideas.
• How to tag and geotag your pictures: http://www.flickr.com/help/organizr/
• You can make up your own tags and add them to pictures if you notice more math

• You can insert slide shows from the group or individual quests into your sites or blogs.
• Please make your pictures public so they show up in slide shows http://www.flickr.com/help/privacy/
• It takes about 2 days for your pictures to appear in slide shows.

• Share your "a-ha" moments, questions that came up, stories about kids in each photo's Description.
  
• Tag photos that have descriptions with the tag "story" so we can find them (Level 3 achievement)
• Stories help to reflect on your personal learning and growth
  

• You can tag other people's photos and add comments to them, similar to Facebook
• You can add notes directly on top of the photo by dragging a frame with your mouse. You can see other people's notes if you mouse over the picture.
• For example, here I added a note about concave polygons to Sauron's photo http://www.flickr.com/photos/59007277@N05/5408652324/
