1. Interview some public history professionals and make a podcast.
2. Map some historical data with Google Maps, Google Earth, or a GIS package. You could do one-room school houses or cemeteries of Spokane County, or stops on Mark Twain's tour around the world, or important places on the Mullan Trail, or scenes of fighting in the Boer War, or...
3. Create a website for a historical event or an online exhibit. Use Omeka or Google Sites of a similar free and easy tool to do so.
4. Create a rephotography album based on historic pictures. Write extended captions telling us what we learn from the exercise.
5. Make a short historical documentary using Windows Movie Maker or Photostory or some silly Mac application. Put it online at YouTube or Google Video. Your documentary could use still images, interviews that you conduct, or snippets of film from the Library of Congress or Archive.org or other sites.
6. Create a guidebook for a local historic site such as Greenwood cemetery.
7. You tell me--if it has to do with preserving or presenting history to the public, it is fair game for this course!
