Today our group attempted to start and finish our film. This did not happen. We successfully started, however finishing seems just as far as before. I've learned two things thus far through this project (alliteration; 5 points!).
Playing in the MULL = fun.
Choosing appropriate music for the background of our film = difficult.
We've had three topics now. We started off fooling around with Jobs After College. Quickly, we switched to On-campus Parking, you all remember. We announced this topic and were met by awkward stares and scolding by Dr. Ohio State. We took it as motivation to blow your minds. We ended up changing topics (for personal reasons, not because of you), but because the needed research was too fierce in such little time. Finally, we arrived at our current brain-child: Death to Books, Digital Life.
I wait now for 3 comments from 3 group members who don't like this title. BEFORE YOU SEND THEM*** Note: This is the first title to exit my brain, not our final title, or even one I like...whew, close one!
Our project is concerned with the end of the physical book age, where research is a long and dreadful task, and the start of digital research. In a quick poll of COMMON SENSE, all must agree students rarely head to the stacks, rather search within databases for "full-text" article. Articles that are Not "full-text" (accessible for students from their current computer) do not stand a chance nowadays. This project does not go into depths as to 'why?' or 'is this an ok thing?' however sheds light on the running slaughter of Card-catalogues to digital-research databases.
If this is not right, I'm sure I will be corrected shortly by my colleages (sp?).

I loved the MULL and I am super excited/relieved that we got so many decisions made! That is always the hard part. I can't wait to see it all come together.
ReplyDeleteI don't see why anyone would judge your group for changing your topic. That should not be a decision that we make for your group. I would have loved to have seen the information you found about parking but death of books, digital life will be just as interesting for us to look at through your groups research. I believe this project should be something fun and interesting for us to do and learn from each other's different opinions about whatever subjects we choose to present. Less stress helps the creativity flow easier.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea! Can't wait to see it.
