Yahoo! has partnered with the Smithsonian Folkways Recordings in Washington, DC to establish the Yahoo! Time Capsule Project.
How can you and your students participate? Between now and November 8, submit a photograph, video, podcast, blog article, digital project or some other digital artifact representing the world we live in.
From the Yahoo! Time Capsule Project site:
"What will you save and what will you share? Your self-portrait. That home video clip that always makes you smile or cry. A Top 10 list of predictions for the future. Perhaps the single photograph you could never live without. A list of what makes you angry. A special letter to yourself or to your children just in case. A special class project. A letter to your lost love that you’ll never send. The URL of your favorite blog, web site, or podcast. Perhaps it will be something banal. Perhaps it will be something beautiful. This is your time capsule. This time capsule is defined not by the few items a curator decides to include, but by the items submitted by every human on earth who wishes to participate.
So let’s review. You’ll be part of history and witness what other are saying and saving. You’ll have your handiwork presented to Smithsonian Folkways Recordings, projected on one of the most famous relics on the planet, AND then beamed along a path of laser light into space. This will definitely be something to email the grandkids about someday."
You can get started here. Be sure to tag your entry with at least the tag salisbury, so that we can easily find your contributions. And when you're finished, blog about it here. How will Salisbury Township School District be represented in this innovative project?
