You guessed it, Tom Brady.
These hour-long "get to know each other" sessions are great. Some people know each other and that's fine and they stick together even if one loves dogs and the other is deathly allergic to dogs and anything good in life. Nature finds a way. What I'm saying is that these sessions are a gentle way of guiding people to find their group members albeit slowly. It's a little like speed-dating. The bell goes ding and you switch groups and pick a new topic so that you can start talking whack about the thing on the other side of the spectrum. I've never gone speed-dating.
The second hour of the contact consisted of actually coming up with ideas as to what an online archive (called Trove) could be used for.
A cold start but we progressed. We began by considering a few things:
- What it was
- Online archive source
- Who could access it (main audience)
- Schools
- Anyone interested in historical facts of a certain topic
- What could be accessed
- Music
- News Articles
- Books
- Pictures
- Statistics
- Other sources
- What could be made from the information on the site
- a blog
- games
- puzzles
- comprehension (Q&A)
- informative website about the childhood memories of Vanor(?) McDonald
- I didn't write this stuff but my writing isn't exactly any more legible
- An example from last year was an interactive timeline based on Australian Inventions using the Trove API to source the pictures and information
The image below is what we whipped up.
Workshop is tomorrow so I'll have that to look forward to. Cool beans.
