re - evaluation

After the evaluation day with Create, I met with the chairperson of SIDS and we discussed the overall aims and objectives of the projects. We agreed that they were SMART. In terms of evaluation we will continue to use the blog as a document to record what happens and looked at different ways of capturing feedback from participants. At the moment we are going with SMS feedback. We think that this is congruent with the practice element of the project as it is accessible and links well with the virtual aspects of the project. Obviously this is open to review based on whether people find it useful or not. We still plan to use photo elicitation as an evaluation tool after the project is complete 12 months from now.

We discussed the visibility of the project and decided to move it to the pier on Sherkin for the next couple of Saturdays. From my point of view this is great, because this is where the curiosity about pinhole cameras began with the pinhole car camera. The pier is the primary access point for Islanders leaving and returning to the Island so it means that everyone will have the chance to see what is going on ask questions and participate.

The Islands radio bulletin on C103 carried a piece about the project last Tuesday and also put a call out for more cans - as we are rapidly going through our raw materials.

I have ordered photographic paper from Gunnes in Dublin, so I hope to have it by next Saturday.
