Well, the workshop is not going to happen this semester. I guess, given how I wrote about it in the last two posts discussing it, that’s to be expected, in a way. With me taking over as president of the student organization of MediaCommons and then my heavy involvement in the planning and execution of Humanities Unbound, I was swamped with other things and didn’t have the time to try to plan, setup, and then actually have the workshop. However, in not having it, I’ve had more time to plan for its parts and, of course, use it as the final project for the class.
Toward that end, I’ve already typed up a pretty final first page (minus the video I want to create for it). I now need to write up three more pages of roughly the same amount and I’ll be done. (If the other pages follow the first one, that’s roughly 2K words per page and roughly 8K total minus the code examples and videos. It’s actually going to be pretty big, all told.)
So, that’s what I’m working on for the Teacher aspect. I’m adding in the writing, the code examples, and plan to match it with some videos explaining the concepts at some point. I think, though, on that issue, I might end up dropping the videos, maybe, depending on my schedule. I’m more concerned with the writing and code examples than the videos. I mean, I want to include them, but it might not happen depending on me meeting those other two goals first and then, and only then, addressing the video content. We’ll see.
