Tech Fair Follow-up

Hi all:

I hope you had a chance to attend the Tech Fair at Macaulay and that you took a look at the sites in the Seminar Two Encyclopedia:

http://eportfolios.macaulay.cuny.edu/encyclopedia/

We will talk a little bit about this final project next week, but if there was anything you saw while looking through the sites that you would like to learn, please let me know. Keep your current research papers in mind. Did you see anything that you feel would help you conduct research or help you present your work?

I will put these links on our course site, but you can also look through these applications:

See you on Tuesday.

Best,

NPR Radio Diaries

When you get a chance, take a listen to some of these NPR Radio diaries: http://www.radiodiaries.org/category/stories/portraits/

The radio diary is the inspiration behind our “mini-doc” project. We will talk more about interviewing, recording, and editing (as well as the role of images), but for now just listen and enjoy! Start to think about what makes these stories interesting and which ones you find most compelling.
