New Project Content Idea

Well, projects change depending on demand, and so shall I. The peer mentoring project pilot might not be happening, mostly because timing is bad for the afterschool programs and it's been hard to get a prospective meeting together, let alone getting a training together.

But new ideas arise! Here's part of an email from Natalie at MIT Media Lab about an idea for a video project:

  • Since the peer mentoring timing isn't working out, I have a related idea. I wonder if you would be interested in putting together a Scratch peer mentoring video --including footage of some kids who are already using Scratch--including asking for clips (perhaps from Raed, Lucky, Oswaldo, Luversa,etc) teens around the world? I was really impressed with a couple of the high school teen mentors at the Museum of Science who do Scratch--one Carolina moved a year ago from Colombia, and is making bilingual Scrach projects using broadcast, etc. Well, I know you're good at making videos happen, so it's a thought.

SO my new idea is to create some videos highlighting some of the examples of peer mentoring going on and develop some materials. Next comes a site map...

    Sounds interesting. Do you have or need help producing the videos? I ask because you have a wealth of knowledge in the tactical media group and perhaps from some of the students in the course.
