Identity
In this session, we explore issues related to identity and community
and used Adobe Photoshop to generate and manipulate images. We also
read My Culture, My Self, an article in Science News(Oct.
18,1997) by Bruce Bower highlighting some recent research on how Western
notions of the mind translate to other cultures. See
our work!

Social and Political Issues
We read the article,
Computers, Thinking, and Schools
in "the New World Economic Order"
by Monty Neill in the collection Resisting the Virtual
Life,
edited by James Brook and Iaian A. Boal (1995, City
Lights)
Along with lots of great discussion, we created HTML
documents with SimpleText, prepared images with Photoshop
and
published our own webpages.

Exploring Themes
After reading an excerpt from Consilience by Edward O. Wilson,we
created hyperstacks with Hyperstudio,
a popular multi-media presentation software package. With Hyperstudio,
one can easily generate linkable pages that include images, sounds
and movie clips to present theme-based research projects.
