Digital history (or storytelling) project Day 1 October 18, 2011.

So far, our class has discussed the few people and businesses whose stories we would like to share.
We have talked about interviewing and open and closed questions. Before we go any further, I would like the class to reflect on the following:
1) What do you know about the various groups or businesses we want to tell about?
2) In which way are these groups or businesses different and in which way are they similar?
Let's blog!!!
