What is a Post Note Card World?
• What are the benefits of the traditional note card approach to research projects?
• What are the limitations to the traditional note card approach?
• What is the nature of research in the 21st century?

1990-2005 Concerns from Historians
1. Inadequate training for new historians on how to work with large data sets
2. Limited University support for the technical infrastructure necessary to conduct research with large data sets
3. Scholars worried about sharing their data sets with others

Digital Storytelling as Collaborative Research
![Page 12: Research projects in a post note card world](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051513/54633985af7959422a8b511f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Digital Storytelling as Collaborative Research
• Started with a pre-existing lesson.• Added “expert” visits.• Created rubrics based upon each expert.• Cafe’ style classroom promoted informal
collaboration.• Focus was upon analytical and communication skills.• Collaborative creation of a content repository for
thematic projects. • Grandparent day film festival

What skills are required for this type of research?
![Page 16: Research projects in a post note card world](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051513/54633985af7959422a8b511f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
What skills are required for this sort of research?
1. Work entirely alone2. Work in diverse teams with limited direction from a single
authority3. Collaborate across networks with limited face-to-face interaction 4. Analyze large and diverse types and sources of data/information5. Transmedia navigation and creation6. Build upon the data collection of others7. Edit the work of others 8. Organize research findings in ways that are meaningful beyond
individual preferences

1. Surface the Current Practices of Students and Teachers
“Presearch”

2. Help students and teachers get informed about the possibilities, but build upon pre-existing classroom practices.

4 Baby Steps
1. Collective annotated bibliography in Google Docs
2. Diigo group for shared resources with student reviews for each one.
3. Collective essay as a pre-assignment to an individual project, paper, or test.
4. Class “research projects” that extend over a quarter or semester.

3. Establish a supported toolbox, but don’t let the tools rule the projects.
