final project rough draft

This is my final project rough draft...AND I think I have figured out why I have been having trouble with submitting and completing assignments. I don't think I have the proper programs on my Mac to download certain programs needed for assignments so I am working on getting that fixed!!! Sorry!

Final Project Rough Draft


For my final project I had the idea of working with the MS-150 cycling tour that comes through Logan
each summer. I want to be able to use the tools we have been taught to help with this project. The first tool
that I am going to use is the map building feature we learned. I think it would be very beneficial if I were to be
able to build a map that included the bike routes and and rest stations for the tour. I think people would use
these maps and they would be a big attraction to the project.

The next tool I would want to use is a photo sharing program such as Flikr. I would put up a bunch of
pictures of the tour and some of the routes and things of that nature. It would include pictures of people on the
tour and supporting the tour. I would also put a bunch of pictures of surrounding attractions in the Logan area.
Many of the people that come up for the tour may not know what Logan has to offer and so I think it would be
beneficial for them to know and see what Logan has for entertainment and relaxation.

I also have thought about doing some video sharing that would include such things as a mini-video of
past tours to show some of the highlights of the tour and it would have narration that would talk about what the tour
was about and what the goal of the tour was. I would want to include interviews and what not of people who have
ridden in the tour or that are planning to ride to get different views on things.

I think it might be a good Idea to start a blog or even a Wiki page dedicated to the 2007 MS-150 tour that
future riders or anybody w/ information or questions could get on and network with other cyclists. I think all of this
would just be very beneficial for those seeking information about the tour.

So in all, I think this would be a pretty good topic for this project just because the tour is such a big attraction in
Logan and I think the tools we have learned could make a difference in accessibility of information for the tour.
