Week 7 Lab Presentation

• Have you contributed to the module discussion board this week?

• Try to contribute something each week

• Get into the habit of writing at least weekly blog posts reflecting on your module studies without either having to be told or asked to do so – your personal learning journal should become a routine task each week in preparation for

assessment - are you in the ‘PLJ groove’?

Personal Learning Journal

Introduction• We have two things to do this

week:

• 1. Review the remix videos from last week

• 2. Co-Teaching Team Task: Create an online presentation (no limit on the number of slides) on the topic of online participatory photography culture

Remix Video Review• We will watch the remix videos• Leave a comment for feedback

using the ‘Comment’ button at the foot of the wiki page

• Further work: you could blog about making the remix video for your ‘personal learning journal’ -

• How did you approach the task? What did you learn about remixing video technically or creatively? What do you think about remix as a form of creativity and communication?

Co-Teaching Team Task Outline

• In your team, use either Slideshare or Prezi to create an online presentation about online photography culture and share on the lab class wiki

• The presentation should do the following:

• Compare and contrast the Sleeveface and Dear Photograph blogs as examples of online participatory photography culture

Online Photography Culture

• Two examples of online participatory photography blogs that have also become books

One or more persons obscuring or augmenting any part of their body or bodies with record sleeve(s) causing an illusion.

Hold a picture from the past in the place where it was photographed and take a picture of the picture. Add a caption to explain the meaning it has for you.

• The term 'Sleeveface’ was devised in April 2007 by Carl Morris and with his friend John Rostron, he put them online and created a Facebook group

• They co-authored a book - Sleeveface : Be The Vinyl (2008), based on worldwide submissions to their WordPress site Sleeveface

• There is also a Sleevefacer iPhone app

• Watch the ‘How to Sleeveface’ video to see creativity in action here

• Dear Photograph began as an idea in 2011

• Via a Tumblr blog, Taylor Jones invited people to re-photograph old photos in the place they were originally taken

• It became a book in 2012

• The blog attracts 15,000-20,000 views each day and an app is in development (Hernandez, 2012)

(Dear Photograph, 2012)

What to do: A Summary• Research – study the two photography

blogs, including reading background information such as online articles

• Create an online presentation that compares and contrasts the two blogs and your discussion of this kind of participatory photography

• Record all the sources that you use in your research

• Record not just written sources, but image sources so that you can reference them

• Use citation in the presentation text and provide a list of references at the end of your presentation

• The DMU Harvard Referencing Guide

Referencing• Here’s a Harvard reference

for an article about Dear Photography:
