"OPTION B: - INTERACTIVE MAP PROJECT
Process - students create a 'my maps' in google maps, and place interactive 'pushpins' on that map showing key waypoints. These pushpins can then be annotated with HTML to show details of those places. The annotations can include youtube videoclips, online photos or diagram, text and other digital media elements deemed relevant by the student. The aim is to create a map-based interactive documentary or narrative in which the map of an area, by virtue of having been annotated with HTML elements in turn becomes the basis for a future locative media project. The map should cover an area which can be reasonably covered on foot within the space of two hours (for example four or five city blocks) and offer the viewer/user a clear insight into the ideas/stories and unique personal view of the locative media maker. The viewer of the map should be able to take the interactive map with them into the street, using a tablet or smart phone and using it, clearly identify key landmarks and waypoints, and be able to use the pushpins provided on that map to better understand the locale"Therefore, I went and embarked on establishing a starting foothold on what places deemed relevant. I figured that the area I live (Tuscumbia, AL) was a great way to show and express the history of my town.
P.S. For those that didn't know, Tuscumbia, Alabama is the birthplace of Helen Keller.
