Hi Radojka,
Nice pictures! Have you also taken pictures with the GrowApp so you can show us an animation later?
Kinder regards,

Beautiful Tatiana!
Have you also added the pictures with the GrowApp to make an animation? If you can share the animation that would also be great! See my previous post on how to share an animation.
Good luck!

How to share your animation?

2017-11-21T09:39:37Z

Hi all,
It's great to see all your posts and pictures!
Did you know that it is also possible to share (a link to) an animation.

How to make a link to gif animation?
If you want to make a link to an animation yourself for example to embed in a webpage:

Open animation full screen
Pause animation and go to picture 1
Right click and select 'open picture in new tab'
The link you will now see ends with .jpg replace .jpg by .gif and you will have the link to the animation.

Example of animation

Hi Mladen and Marina,
Yes it's possible. Just add the hashtag when you add a new picture to the animation. The hashtag needs to be in at least one of the pictures that are part of the animation. It doesn't matter which picture.
I hope this helps!
Good luck with the GrowApp!

GrowApp launched

2017-03-24T21:57:11Z

The newly launched GrowApp allows students and citizens to make animations of trees, gardens and landscapes by taking pictures with their smartphone. The app directly transforms these pictures in a time lapse movie that shows changes over the seasons and even over the years. While having fun making an animation of their backyard, users help scientists better understand climate change impact on the environment.
The start and duration of the growing season in Europe has significantly been influenced by the increase of European temperature by 1.5 °C compared to pre-industrial levels. This conclusion can be drawn based on the analysis of hundreds of thousands of observations of flowering, leaf unfolding and leaf colouring done by volunteers from all over Europe. The flowering of 17 spring plants in Europe, for example, advanced with two weeks on average since 1982. In addition to these so-called phenological observations satellites track changes in the greenness of the land cover. However, up till now it remains a challenge to link field observations with satellite observations.

The European Phenology Campaign page has been updated. Take a look at the learning materials, the scientists, the focus species, the community and start doing GLOBE phenology!

We wish you a lot of fun!

International collaboration

If you are a GLOBE teacher and want to collaborate with another teacher (in another country) you can post your idea for collaboration here so that other schools can find you and connect to you.
