I do not have a rigid or very specific plan for today, and I think that's the way things should be. I plan to primarily serve as a resource for the student I am help. Hopefully, he or she will have some questions. If not, I will probably be able to determine which aspects of the project the student is concerned or stressed out about. Talking about stress in a productive way can be very helpful with a more laid back and relaxed person (me on most days). So my plan is to essentially be a friendly guy. Secondly, I will attempt to encourage the student by asking about his or her ideas about the oral history he or she would like to investigate...or what he or she has investigated in the case of some students. This is the most important part in my estimation. Making the intellectual portion of the process of making this project significant will allow students to gain the most in the long run, even if there electronic project is not the most high-tech. This will hopefully flow into a conversation about how the project will actually work. The creative process, that is. And of course, the technological aspects of the project can then be handled. To assist the student, showing him or her:
1. www.creativecommons.org
2. www.picnik.com
3. and how to filter pictures on http://www.google.com/ to only include licensed photos might allow for the student begin thinking about the pictures he or she might use.
Next, discussion of the script will be realized. This will include structure, creativity, etc. The program audacity will be mentioned and if appropriate at this time, will be explored hands-on.
Lastly, the program photostage will be explored with the student.
Some examples to show the student:
