Example of work

Angkor Hospital for Children, Siem Reap, Cambodia by Photojournalist Karl Grobl (http://karlgrobl.com/blog/2010/11/angkor-hospital-for-children-siem-reap-cambodia/).

It’s a wonderful project — evocative, communicative, tells a story in pictures. As involving as video would have been. An audio track, or a little bit of text, can contextualise the images and flesh out the issues.

Tute 2 checklist: communities

By now you should have a good list of the communities you belong to, or at least can get access to.

Now you need to narrow it down:

Which one/s has a good issue that you can use?

Which one/s use social media? Do you use that social media too?

Tute 2 checklist: study buddies

Missed a class? Missing some information? May need help doing your interviews? Etcetera. A good strategy is to have a couple of class mates to call on for help.

Have you:

Chosen two people in the course to be study buddies with

Swapped contact details with them

Remember, this will only work out if the favours are reciprocated!
