Project coming up

Started to work on my project, its about creating a limited digital canon of source materials in Swedish political history, designed to make it easier for students to write term papers concerning the subject area. Lots of problems with the idea and also possibilities. Will try to explore those in my project report.

Video presentation

Well, in the end i skipped prezi, instead I was inspired to kick off my presentation with a short video, an animation illustrating how news traveled in order to reach Northern Scandinavia at the beginning of the Crimean war (1854-1856) when it was transported though ships and land transports. It was fairly easy to do in GE and I captured the video with Fraps. At the conference it made my presentation stand out against the competition of many traditional PP presentations.
