6. Current Project with MCPL Camera Club and Others Pilot Knob Cemetery  Learn about Photographing tombstones for archive and aesthetics  Transfer data from Photos to database  Upload photos to Find A Grave website  Combine data and selected photos  Create bound publication and Electronic copy  Credit contributors.

7. Create a Cemetery Book This initial Cemetery book was not created as a group project, but future ones will come out of programs and groups like MCPL Camera Club. Original Cemetery book covered dates until 1990. Addendum Data provided by Berea Cemetery. Accompanying photos and layout provided afterward.

8. Work in progress Madison County, KY Cemeteries Map http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF&msa=0&msid=207064669688679489020.0004be6fc727e6864c47a With the modifications of street names by construction and 911 protocols, written directions in our cemetery books proved inaccurate in many cases. Digitizing cemetery locations improves this situation and makes the data available electronically.

25. Gamification Per Wikipedia : “Gamification is the use of game thinking and game mechanics to engage users in solving problems. Gamification is used in applications and processes to improve user engagement, return on investment, data quality, timeliness, and learning.” Rewards, like points and badges, leverage natural desires for achievement, competition, and closure

26. Oh, We Need Badges All Right

27. Does It Work? I started Codecademy to learn CSS I ended up creating a Blackjack game in Javascript before ever starting the CSS lesson

28. Program Ideas Best Option – Open Lab – Let interested patrons flow in and out, working at their own paces Tools – All you need to provide is a computer (platform independent) connected to the Web – This might be one of the few times I recommend a Chromebook

29. Program Ideas Be there to help … or “help” All of the answers to passing each individual lesson are in the Q & A section, meaning you can help find the answer even if you do not know much more than the question, so… Put those reference skills to work! Fake it ‘til you make it! Some other phrase you find slightly motivating! There is no reason to be frightened; it’s just a game
