Lecture 10: Collaborative Multimodal Stories

REMEMBER: today we're meeting in the computer lab!


Today we'll have a chance to put into practise what we've been learning for the last nine weeks. We'll implement our knowledge of writing headlines and leads. We'll also experiment with finding images online and incorporating our "story" in the online environment. With the current emphasis on locative media, we'll be publishing our story to google maps.
