24 August: Final Projects due.

Online Presentation requirements:

Each group will make use of the collaborative wiki platform to develop their research findings. You will use text, image, video, and geotagging as tools to communicate your research project. An outline/format for both the textual and video options is detailed here.

Text – use the wiki to collaboratively develop and communicate your project. Use the outline below as guidelines for your write up. Note: You can use your research proposal as a starting point—there should be much overlap in content.

Images – Incorporate photos of your field sites and/or subjects in strict compliance with your IRB Human Subjects certification.

Video - Incorporate at least one video clip related to your research topic and/or subjects depending on consent and privacy considerations.

Geotagging – create a Google map to identify your field sites and annotate these sites with text and/or images as appropriate. Where privacy is an issue, you can instead link topically related images to the group map.

Wiki – use the wiki format as the central ‘place’ for accessing/organizing all of your research materials; blogs, data, presentation, images, text, etc. this means to link to your online photo archives and such, rather than downloading to the wiki, in a manor that provides intelligent navigation possibilities.

Text & Video options - Each group needs to choose between a text based and video based approach. The requirements for both are detailed here.

NYT - Going Dutch in Amsterdam

Article on traveling in Amsterdam in Aug 6, New York Times: ...As I walked up Weteringstraat, an unassuming street not far from the city’s most famous museums, I spotted a corner bar, the Café de Wetering (Weteringstraat 37; 31-20-622-9676), its entrance shrouded in grapevines. Inside, beyond the clumps of pale green fruit, it was narrow, the wood all burnished brown, with a low-ceilinged mezzanine and, all the way at the back, a fireplace. Soft jazz played on the stereo, a melodic counterpoint to the Dutch spoken by the dozen regulars, one of whom set down his glass and announced, to nobody in particular, “Sonny Rollins.” [ see the full article in 6 August, New York Times]
