Re/search

My research professor always says: "Research is built upon repetition. Otherwise, it would be called search." So let the adventure begin!

I am currently in the process of contacting College Unbound. I would like to involve them and their vision in the VOST2011 project. It would be interesting to see their success and student comments about the program.

Research Plan:
Week 1 (Feb 21-27): What are the boxes on campus? How far do they extend and what do they enclose? Delve into the book "Mediated".

Week 2 (Feb 28-March 6): Understand the concepts behind un-schooling and determine if I want to represent it within my video. Determine if Ken Robinson is applicable for video voice-over. Start mixing music if audio cannot be found.

Week 3 (March 7-13): Read "The Saturated Self" by Kenneth Gergen and "Sources of the Self: The Making of the Modern Identity" by Charles Taylor. Manipulate concepts within my thesis.

Week 4 (March 14-20): Design video clips that represent box schooling and extend it past the department walls. Finish previous week's readings and music mixing.

Week 5 (March 21-27): Focus on video design and craft a solid storyline.

Please feel free to add any ideas for my future research!
