EOTP Digital Story Project - Fear

Overview
When Eyes on the Prize premiered in 1987, The Los Angeles Times called it “an exhaustive documentary that shouldn’t be missed.” With its re-release, KQED’s DSI implemented a locative media project with Oakland High School. Starting with a discussion on community and social justice, students went into their neighborhood to document local social justice issues. the issues that can up were
- social justice = environmental justice
- social justice = freedom from violence
- social justice = equal access

Locating their stories with long/lat coordinates, they then came back into the classroom created a short digital story, used Google Earth to tag content to a mapped location, then using gps-enabled handhelds, the students geo-tagged content such that it could be experienced in the actual location.
