You can find the full text at the bottom of this post. My project focuses on evaluating crisis mapping used during 2010 Haitian earthquake. It began as Maps for Mankind, a Youtube channel that would feature interesting mapping tools. My original plan was to focus my final project on civic mapping, but I realized it was way too broad of a […]]]> https://civic.mit.edu/2012/12/08/final-projects/ Sat, 08 Dec 2012 17:58:00 +0000 http://civic-homepage.wordpress.brownbag.me/2012/12/08/final-projects/ https://civic.mit.edu/2012/12/03/civic-maps-during-the-haitian-earthquake/ Mon, 03 Dec 2012 21:58:00 +0000 http://civic-homepage.wordpress.brownbag.me/2012/12/03/civic-maps-during-the-haitian-earthquake/ https://civic.mit.edu/2012/11/19/onezoom-tree-of-life/ Mon, 19 Nov 2012 22:00:00 +0000 http://civic-homepage.wordpress.brownbag.me/2012/11/19/onezoom-tree-of-life/ https://civic.mit.edu/2012/11/12/second-video-all-about-election-maps/ Mon, 12 Nov 2012 16:58:00 +0000 http://civic-homepage.wordpress.brownbag.me/2012/11/12/second-video-all-about-election-maps/ https://civic.mit.edu/2012/10/29/first-video-of-maps-for-mankind/ Mon, 29 Oct 2012 18:35:00 +0000 http://civic-homepage.wordpress.brownbag.me/2012/10/29/first-video-of-maps-for-mankind/ https://civic.mit.edu/2012/10/15/model-of-facebook-net-worth/ Mon, 15 Oct 2012 23:59:00 +0000 http://civic-homepage.wordpress.brownbag.me/2012/10/15/model-of-facebook-net-worth/ https://civic.mit.edu/2012/10/08/a-theory-of-social-change/ Mon, 08 Oct 2012 22:31:00 +0000 http://civic-homepage.wordpress.brownbag.me/2012/10/08/a-theory-of-social-change/ Last Wednesday, our group began to formulate a theory of social change. Instead of having a single theory, however, our group divulged into two camps on what an idealized model would be like. Today, I would like to discuss the model that I had personally worked on more, and that would be the colored “human pyramid” in the picture below. We wanted to draw a model and demonstrated the current state of society, which can […]]]> https://civic.mit.edu/2012/10/01/updated-project-proposal/ Mon, 01 Oct 2012 22:36:00 +0000 http://civic-homepage.wordpress.brownbag.me/2012/10/01/updated-project-proposal/ Last week, we discussed our final project proposals and received feedback from one another. Although I feel that my project proposals are much more elementary than the others, I still have some positive feedback from a few of my ideas. I’ve essentially narrowed it down to two ideas: the humorous educational sketches and analyzing data visualization of various networks. I really like the first idea of creating humorous, yet informative shows on Youtube, mostly because […]]]> https://civic.mit.edu/2012/09/17/reflections-on-our-digital-inclusion-model/ Mon, 17 Sep 2012 22:26:00 +0000 http://civic-homepage.wordpress.brownbag.me/2012/09/17/reflections-on-our-digital-inclusion-model/ Last week heralded my first class in CMS.360, and I loved it. Even though everyone else in the class seems much more well informed than me, I feel that’s a great thing. I have no reason to attend college and take this course if I already knew about Civic Media. During my first class, we developed a model for digital inclusion (which we called the Pie). Admittedly, it is still a work of progress. We […]]]>
