Thursday, April 22: FIELD TRIP AS220 Fab Lab (Shawn Wallace)
STUDENT WORK
1. DISCUSSION WEBSITES
Provide and demonstrating several websites that illustrate one week’s readings.
Look at the websites listed for each week first. Do the readings and then find
other websites to call to our attention. Send the websites to all students at least
two days before the discussion. Be prepared to talk BRIEFLY about why you
chose these websites in class. Information on how the websites were funded;
who sponsored them; how the projects worked would also be appreciated.
2. LAB ASSIGNMENTS
Some lab instructors will make assignments to be done outside of class, to
reinforce what you’ve learned. Each will take no more than an hour. We’ll post
the results to the class wiki or website along with questions you’ve encountered
and get the lab instructors to respond.
3. GLOSSARY WIKI
Let’s see what a wiki can do. Each student will take a word (claimed on 2/2) and
write a definition of it on our course wiki (details on where to find this to follow).
As the semester goes along, each student will be responsible for rewriting or
commenting on AT LEAST two definitions. Can we crowdsource our
understanding of course concepts?
4. PROJECTS
Present preliminary proposal to the class on Tuesday, March 9
Present final project to class + invited guests on Thursday, April 29
Final project due, Friday, May 14
Projects may be done collaboratively, with other students in the class, or to follow
up on other courses or practicums. Of the following, choose one possibility:
A. Build an Omeka site with at least 10 documents
