Shamrock Lane

As a fellow with the Franklin Institute this year, I had three projects to complete. The other two fellows publishing on my schedule were Karen Walkowiak and Hazel Jobe. I knew of Hazel prior to our work together for some of her good work in Tennessee. She was the video conferencing educator expert at the time in that field. The museum had provided us with webcams and the three of us had struck up a friendship during the first several months with the webcams as well as ICQ. Later when I met Gert, she was taken aback initially that anytime one of these ladies would message me, the computer would speak Karen’s Here or Hazel Has Messaged Me.

As we published our first project, we began looking ahead to March. As we mulled over our ideas, we decided to collaborate on a project together. After running it by the museum to ensure it was okay with our decision, we began working on Shamrock Lane.

This is the first web project I ever collaborated on. Looking back with experience and many other projects under my belt, the first two projects I completed with these two ladies were the most satisfying I participated in.

We each developed our own content and then discussed how that content would be presented. It was an exciting time. I like this project.

As with of all of our work, we do not have access any longer to it. So, the javascript used to present the date has now been wrong for seven years. :) It drives me nuts, but the museum has no desire to have the content updated. So be it . . .

Also blogged on this date . . .
