To get started with your scrapbook, Jill has given you editing privileges to create your own page on the website. Yes, you are now masters of the site. We trust you. You are now full collaborators.

If you have a moment, set this up. Go to your dashboard and “add new page.” Use your name in the subject heading. This way, Jill can transfer your page to the menu later in the week. We decided to go with a page instead of eportfolios for the convenience and joint creative vision it allows–so that the pages express perspectives of our shared cultural journey. If you feel very strongly that you want to use the eportfolio or some type of advanced wizardry, you can always link to the page. Whatever your vision, we can find a way to realize it.

Once you have created your page put up your first entry on a cultural passport event: theatre, meet the artist, museum visit or such. It need not polished. Many start with a slideshow or visual diary. These set dates to get something up are merely to keep you on track. Be sure to show me proof of where you went. By the way if you are looking for something Halloweeny, check out Blood Manor. It is a haunted house/ interactive experience downtown on Varick Street. Tickets are $25 +service fee. It looks like they will be holding some student nights. This kind of immersive tour is one of the hottest cultural trends happening globally.
