Delivery

Once you have created your story how do you share it with the world, or at least the people in your school.

CD-ROM (700 MB)

The benefit of delivering content on a CD-ROM is that it is cheap, portable and is not reliant on bandwidth. The downside is that it can not be updated . Any changes require the creation and distribution of a new CD.

DVD (1.4+ Gig)

This appears to be the future of disc-based content distribution. New software such as iDVD have made authoring for DVD a reasonable proposition. Same benefits and issues found with CDs except DVDs contain much more material and can be played on consumer DVD players.

Weblog or Blog

This is the hottest thing going on the web.Basically it is a way for people to keep a web based diary of their lives without having to learn html. The downside is that they are primarily text based. Example: Blogger.com

Web

The web allows you to distribute your story to anyone who has an Internet connected computer. The primary limitations here include access to a web server, some knowledge of web page authoring, and bandwidth.

Examples

Getting Word: the Monticello African American Oral History Project

Pyramids the Inside Story

Becoming Human

Arizona Learning Interchange

Most of the same limitations as the web, but AZLI provides the hosting and takes away the need to know html.The goal of AZLI is to develop a library/clearinghouse of innovative programs and classrtoom practices.If you are interested in creating an exhibit pleas eMail me.
