First steps

I talked to Mark Pesce on Friday. He is just finishing up at the Australian Film Television and Radio School and he has an interest in documentary as well as being a futurist and digimedia whiz. He talked about citizenship journalism being leading area in user generated content, and I found an online BBC film on this topic. Mark suggested looking at citizen journalism on Wikipedia. There's a lot there.

I checked out the Nokia short films (15 seconds?) made for mobiles as well as short films made using mobiles. A good reminder how simply a good story can be told.

I also found this delightful online film using google earth and bloggers all over the world.

So, first blog up and running! With help from Alex Hayes, mobile device enthusiast, mentor and colleague at the Department of Education and Training.
