So we have to hand in a report till today about our activities for the course so let's summarize a bit what I did in the last time:
After the first meeting I thought about the
benchmarking and found that is difficult to narrow the wide field of the use of
photography with cultural heritage content on the social network facebook. I
looked for some "institutions" or "official" pages on the
social network facebook and how the represent cultural heritage with photos and
other visual material.
Right after the first lesson Nina created a group on
facebook and we joined it to organize further meetings for this course.
Another task was to create a learning diary. I decided for a blog because its
quite easy to create one if you have a google account and we had one for a
course in Graz before and it worked quite well.

We had a groupmeeting on the 20th of february.
Everybody presented her/his thoughts and research about the benchmarking. After
we talked about that theme we switched to the courses we had in the first
semester. Leigh Ann told us about the cultural heritage course in Turku and we
told her about the IT-related courses in Graz. It was good to get an impression
what the euromachsstudents did in their first term. We also uploaded the
keyinformations to the wikiversity.
It was a bit challenging to put the informations into
the wikiversity but it was helpful to go to the "edit-mode" of the
mainpage and see how the different styles work. Like the other I created an own
page: http://fi.wikiversity.org/wiki/Cultural_Heritage_in_Facebook_-_Pages_and_Private_Impressions
Leigh Ann was so friendly to organize the book about
Social Media for us. Kimi gave us the introduction but we also distributed the
other chapters so that every one of us would have one with a theme that would
fit him/her personal interest I got one about photography. I already read the
introduction but just had started with my chapter and am not completely done
yet. We will meet up next week and present the chapters to each other.
Concerning further projects for the course we had a
little discussion yesterday. For the groupwork we want to work together as a
whole team if that is possible. There were some suggestions in the wikiversity
and we thought that it might be possible to combine these topics. On the one
hand there is this Facebook Page of Pori with a lot of photos and on the other
there was the idea of a cultural tracker. We ended up that a combination of
these themes could be possible. Creating a cultural tracker for the city pori
including the visual material from their facebookpage. We also thought of going
to Pori and create a short video where the trackerdata, the facebookphotos and
the real impression could get combined.
For the individual project I have a only a very vague
idea. Right now theres a new trend coming on social media called "Harlem
Shake" and i thought it might be nice to see how trends set up on social
media and how they transform the original content into a new hybrid form in the
internet. I think that this Harlem Shake might be a good example for some
reasons: There is a strict pattern for how it works and have to look like.
People all over the world are fascinated and create their own version with
friends. I'd also want to have a look on the original dance and how the city
Harlem and their inhabitants react to this trend.
We will be away for some days but when we ll have our
meeting for presenting the chapters to each other we will also talk about how
we want to go on with our groupwork.
