| Description:
|
|
For the past two years, teams of students in Black’s media design courses have traveled to sites in Utah to document the history, uses, mining, refining, and production of chemical elements and industrial materials. They interviewed subject experts, toured and videotaped sites, and edited the footage into a series of podcast episodes. In this presentation Black will: show samples of the video episodes; discuss the project, its purposes, and how his research at CHF this summer fits in; and ask for feedback on approach, scope, audience, sponsorships, and project assessment strategies.
David V. Black is the Société de Chimie Industrielle (American Section) Fellow at CHF this summer. He has 20 years’ experience teaching courses in physical science, history, and media design technology at high schools and vocational colleges in California and Utah. Black has also worked with NASA’s Explorer Schools program as an educator facilitator, leading educator workshops at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, CA.
