Research - Construct and Express


Create and share photo essays, or video- and audio-playlists.

Go deeper into your research by doing one of the following:

  1. Make a Creative Commons photo essay
  2. Create an EDU-YouTube playlist
  3. Collect iTunes and NPR podcasts

Keep notes using the guide Dialectical Notes. Share Presentation or playlist and docs with your teacher and peers.

Use Creative Commons
images to pose questions
and complicate your
thinking about your
research topic. Images
have a way of adding
complex, sometimes
even contradictory ways
of seeing a subject. Make
a short slide show that
expresses different
perspectives on your topic
without words.

Many of us use YouTube
for entertainment,
but browse over to
YouTube.com/education
to see how many
fascinating videos you
can find to spark your
research project. Use
EDU-YouTube to find
2 or 3 videos from such
inspiring sources as
TEDx Talks, Stamford
University, and PBS
NewsHour, and more!

Podcasts are rich
sources of information
for most any research
project. Search on
iTunes to see what
you can find, then
look on NPR to find
couple of podcasts
there as well. Listen
carefully, take 
dialectical notes, so
that you can 
add your
brief 
transcriptions,
citations, and
responses 
from these
podcasts to 
your
discussion post.


If you do a photo essay, make your Presentation Public to the web, Publish it, and copy the Document link, then come here (back to this P2PU Task), and paste that link into a comment box.

If you keep Dialectical Notes on videos or podcasts, make your Doc Public to the web, Publish it, and copy the Document link, then come here (back to this P2PU task), and paste that link into a comment box. You should also include links to your YouTube playlist or to a page of podcast links that you've collected in Docs. (See details in each assignment.)

Paste these links to your work into a comment before you click Yes, I'm done .
