Here's a pdf of my presentation from the Pre-Service Orientation last week on my work at the CTC and wifi project.

Madison Park Development Corporation provides 986 affordable rental housing units overall, with 546 units in the Village, consisting of over 1000 residents. (See the old project description).

Are you ready? I'm leading my first web conference presentation tomorrow afternoon to spread my digital storytelling love on the Neighborhood Networks Quarterly Consortia Conference Call. I met some of these folks back in June at the Digital Storytelling Bootcamp at the (HUD) Neighborhood Networks Regional Technical Assistance Workshops. Check out the Powerpoint if you like.

I just read an interesting article about a dichotomy in computer usage:

• Bicycle: The computer amplifies your own capacities or abilities
• Car: The computer comes with pre-packaged formulas or solutions whose inner workings you don't have to understand.

The article discusses this in the context of presentations--it is the Presentation Zen Blog, of course. For example, students can be taught PowerPoint in two ways:

• This is how you make a slide. This is how you make a transition. Put a picture in by clicking this button. Use this drop-down menu to start the show. As a car. Or...
• This is how you tell a story. These are good methods for displaying data. This is how to edit effectively. As a bicycle

And of course there is lot's of good advice on the blog on how to make a good presentation.
