North Wales Overarching web site

Here's a link to a website that will bring together the C2.0 initiatives from North Wales -
http://www.northwalesweb.co.uk

This project will, with a bit of luck act as a glue between the County initiatives, and act as a conduit for both potential volunteers and end users to find out who to contact locally or where to go to find a course nearby.

Mind Map

 The above is a basic mind map showing the main sections of a proposed website to bring together the initiatives that have been set up in North Wales. This is not to replace this digital practitioner blog, or to undermine or weaken county blogs or web initiatives, but to strengthen them, and provide a central North Wales 'hub' for initiatives, practitioners and other stakeholders.

History mapping -session idea from Simon

The basic idea revolves around working with community groups and old photos.
The Format 
This will take part over two sessions (if not 3 or 4 )
 1. people bring in their photos of the village, these are scanned and put on a blog.
They are also put on history pin so that they can be superimposed over present google street view images.

2. At a second session the groups talk about the differences in the photos and record memories of people and places. These are recorded for end use on the blog.

Resources-
Hardware- Scanner, Zoom audio recorder, Laptops
Software - to be announced!!!!!
