Knowledge Sharing across Communities
The purpose of this Google Apps site is to share and store information about various community generated content that has a historic context. This is quite experimental and will perhaps become clearer as the project develops. This will be a data rich site which could be a starting point for exploring many community websites such as the East Cleveland Image Archive or Friends of Redcar Cemetery. A Digital Village is a space where a community expresses their identity though ICT and Digital Media. This may be from an artistic, heritage, or economic perspective or a mixture of all three.This can be done through poetry, digital stories, community newspapers online, image collections (old and new), audio (Internet radio, oral history), animations, video, and text. To engage in the activities the participants need to learn new skills and so the Digital Village also becomes a learning community. |  Image Courtesy East Cleveland Image archive |
