Our next major event was a Community round table with several long time residents of Wiscasset who joined us on 9/16 for a conversation reflecting on their experiences growing up and living in town for 50+ years. Notice the two open laptops in the center of the room - with snowball mics connected. We recorded the hour long conversation for use in student projects later. We are currently in the one on one interview stage where students are recording conversations with their one community member which will result in a multimedia image/audio production in the next few weeks.

Our students met with their community members twice for oral interviews which were recorded on their laptops. Students then spent a great deal of class time and out of class time editing audio tracks down to somewhere around 5 minutes. The audio was then exported from GarageBand to iTunes where it was accessed for their iMovie production which included the audio and appropriate images found on trips to the town historical archives at the public library, the county courthouse archives, and various images brought in by community members.

On October 6th we held our fall Open House at WHS. Mary Ellen and I put together a presentation board of images of the kids, historical images the students contributed, an explanation of the project, the course, and the OER Arts Integration project and grant. We also played short clips of some of the projects in progress bythe students. Below is the assortment of clips we played. media type="custom" key="7455771" Our next event was Tuesday, November 9th, where we invited the community members come to the high school for a lunch with the students and a showed of all of the student work, including the multimedia oral history projects and the original fine art photographs and statements the students created. Here is the invitation we sent out to our community partners:
