Today’s class notes
April 12, 2011 | Leave a Comment
Hi all:
Just to have these:
7 Landmark groups (2 people per group, people were assigned to groups today)
Each group will:
-revisit their site
-begin writing up text (4 paragraphs for webpage) Some students volunteered to write up a “writing assignment” (who is doing this? please post it on facebook asap.)
-take photos appropriate to their site (as field notes or “professional” photos. See Tyler for assistance here.)
-create some sort of interview (could be video, photo w/ voice over, just audio, or can be transcribed.) Both informal and formal interviews need releases. Please contact Prof. Gardner. Interview questions should also be scripted in advance. Please consider the nature of your interviews methods carefully. All participants must give their consent to be interviewed. They must also give express consent for you to use their image and audio on a public website. If they don’t give this consent, the interview can still be used, but you will have to change the names to “anonymous” and transcribe the interview for use on the site.
-also create a google map for your location
I am thinking that we will use www.wix.com to build the site. This flash site will allow each group to create a page that really works for their content (as well as keep the design consistent across pages.) It will also let us easily insert google maps (as a widget.) If you are curious start playing with the site. We will probably build pages from scratch, but this is pretty easy.
Other ideas to consider: perhaps you want an additional photo gallery? if so, we can create its own page. Wix, however, let’s you embed photos (galleries, take a look) that look pretty nice, so perhaps some pages have a few photos, but if someone does do a cool photo essay, we can accommodate that too.
