 * [[image:Picture_4.png]]

http://www.communitywalk.com/goodland/ks/map/205398

We will be using [|Community Walk], [|shared google spreadsheet], a digital camera, iphoto, [|switchboard], and your cell phone to add landmarks to a map of Goodland. Then we will share this map with people all over the world.

Procedure: 1. Go to [|Community Walk] and check out the map of Goodland. Look at the marker that was added and the information on the marker. 2. Check e-mail to get link to shared google spreadsheet and open spreadsheet - one per group. 3. In your group, brainstorm places in Goodland that should be added to the map. Add these places to the spreadsheet. For example, Goodland High School. 4. Brainstorm ideas for the "Fun Fact" about each place. Add that idea to the spreadsheet as a question. For example, When was the school built? Or - How many students attend GHS? Or What activities can a student be involved in at GHS? 5. Add descriptions, addresses, etc to the spreadsheet for each location. Use [|switchboard] to find the address and phone number. Add the address to the spreadsheet. 6. Use the "Discuss" tab to chat with other groups and share ideas. 7. Gather information in the spreadsheet by using the internet of by calling the landmark on the phone and getting the information. If you call, be sure to identify yourself as a student of GHS who is doing a class project. 8. Add markers to the [|Community Walk] map and add the information from the spreadsheet. 9. Before Monday take a picture of the landmark(s) you added and add picture to your iPhoto. (We'll add the picture on Monday.) 10. In your group create a "path" from landmark to landmark.

[|Global Views] Descriptions of life and activities in schools and communities around the world, made by and for teenagers. [|Seeing Service] Profiles of those who make life better for others. These are to remind us that there are good people all around us.__

__Jobs and Responsibilities__
__([|http://webhost.bridgew.edu/a4costa/INST%20523%20Group%20Project/index.htm)]

PRODUCER has the final authority over the production. The producer works well with others, instills confidence, and is well-organized and able to keep others on schedule. The producer provides critique and encouragement to the members of the team.

RESEARCHER/WRITER searches for new and interesting story angles. The researcher/writer communicates information in a clear, concise, and interesting manner. Before a shoot, the researcher/writer contacts experts, checks for background information and investigates all sides of a story. The researcher/writer provides script information to the reporter and videographer so they will know what to emphasize during the shoot. Information must also be communicated to the video editor who ties words and pictures together in a package.

REPORTER must speak clearly and communicate well with the audience and those involved in the production. The reporter communicates an interest in and an enthusiasm for the story. The reporter guides people who may not be comfortable on-camera to communicate information, ideas, and feelings to an audience.

VIDEOGRAPHER **has the technical know-how. The videographer must be well-organized, gathering and transporting all equipment for a shoot and must be able to anticipate problems. An artistic eye is a must for visual appeal when setting up shots to tell the story. The videographer varies camera composition and movements to capture the viewers’ interest.**

EDITOR **also possesses technical skill and an artistic eye. An editor must turn hours of video and audio into a seamless story. The editor must pay attention to details to insure that voice-overs reinforce the appropriate visuals.**
