Some Resources for Digital Projects

I was pleased by how many of you have chosen to take a stab at something digital for your final project. Based on some of your descriptions, I thought I'd throw up a quick post of resources:

• Omeka is an open-source content manager. You upload whatever items you want to put online, then use the templates to create an exhibit. You can do it all for free at Omeka.net. This might be a good way to do a web exhibit--check it out and see what you think.
• There are a bunch of places to create a website without learning HTML and all that. People say good things about Weebly, though I have not used it. Google Sites is a popular option. 
• You can also create a site with blogging software. This site is based on the Blogger platform. I have seen some beautiful blogs built with Posterous.
• Some of you are interested in creating mobile tours. There are lots of mobile audio tours on iTunes you can listen to as examples.  Audacity is the standard for recording and editing sound but I'll bet there are other things you could use.  This page seems to say that Omeka could be used for mobile tours. Open Museum is intriguing, this page seems to indicate a mobile tour. See this page on mobile for museums. If you hit a dead end on everything else you can put your content on a Google Maps.

Be bold, Google around for help, and have a backup plan if the learning curve for a particular piece of technology proves too steep. And have fun!
