In the afternoon of day five, I taught one of the classes in the Xavier Art Department. My class was focused on mobile technology and its place within grassroots journalism and social conversation. I introduced flickr, blip.tv and mobile uploading capabilities on facebook. I showed the class how to register for these various services and how to set their mobile settings. I then introduced and discussed freeformed and the Voices of New Orleans project. After introducing these various platforms, I showed the ny2no blog and discussed how to register for your own blog and how to upload video and images and how to configure blip to send mobile images and videos to the blog automatically. The students I taught were somewhat tech savy already and they seemed to understand how use the various features. I handed out my email address and pointed the students to the how-to page on the ny2no blog, which contained notes and step by step information as to how to execute all of the things I discussed.
