			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>“Oma is de weg kwijt” is een afstudeerproject van de Hogeschool voor de Kunsten Utrecht ontwikkeld in samenwerking met Anke Klein Zieverink en Kim Deuning. Het project bestaat uit een interactief lespakket waarbij een multi-touch tafel op unieke wijze in het geschiedenis onderwijs van het basisschool wordt geïntegreerd. Tijdens het ontwikkelen van de applicatie heb ik veel onderzoek gedaan naar de mogelijkheden en het gebruik van nieuwe (interactieve) media en ICT in het basisonderwijs en de rollenverschuiving die dit met zich meebrengt.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.frankdouwes.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/paperICT1.png" alt="" title="paperICT" width="894" height="370" class="alignright size-full wp-image-1717" /></p>
<p>Steeds meer basisscholen ontwikkelen een media en ICT visie, ze zien het belang van digitale media binnen het onderwijs in, en investeren veel geld in digitale leermiddelen. De docent geeft nu een centrale les voor een digitaal schoolbord en de kinderen maken hun rekensommen op de computer, maar de lessen zijn nog altijd groot en deels hetzelfde. en de meerwaarde die ICT en nieuwe media zouden kunnen bieden worden nog niet optimaal ingezet. Nieuwe media en ICT vereist ook nieuwe didactiek.<br />

<p>I was part of a group called &#8220;crowdconnection&#8221; which was assembled by the HKU to create innovative concepts for the Telematica Institute. I helped develop various concepts including &#8220;Mirror me this&#8221; and &#8220;BUY?&#8221;. BUY? is an interactive installation which changes the way we shop, it consists of an interactive fitting booth connected to clothing items in a store, instead of letting yourself being manipulated by branding and image, BUY? aims to visualise the production proces, designers view and social network of clothing. These elements should have a more prominent role in the shopping process.</p>

<p>BUY? was an ubiquitous computing experiment, the goal was to create a whole new shopping experience, where the user was presented with relevant information previously unavailable. To accomplish this we chose to make the user interface controls almost completely sensor based (using infrared LEDs, augmented reality QR tags and an ultrasonic sensor), the GUI is a combination of the persons reflection in the mirror combined with floating elements projected around it, due to the nature of the specially coated mirror it&#8217;s impossible to see how this effect is achieved, where the projection is coming from and where the edges are. A truly unique experience that is hard to describe.</p>
<p>I created the interface elements and a total of 12 short content videos for the first prototype of the BUY? installation, the interface has 3 icons, each representing a different pathway the user can choose, Concept (Light Bulb icon), Production (Sprocket icon) and Social (Heart icon). Concept shows the idea behind the print on the shirt, where the idea originated and the designers opinion or statement. Production visualises the production process and the materials used. Social shows information about the people who bought the shirt, their lifestyle and their opinion about the product.</p>

<p><em>The Virus Free Generation Hip-Hop Tour is a project by Hivos, Alliance 2015 and Music Mayday attempting to raise awareness about the HIV&amp;Aids epidemic in Africa amongst the European youth of Germany, the Netherlands, Czech Republic and Italy.</em></p>
<p>It started in February 2008 in Dar es Salam (Tanzania) and ended in Cape Town (South Africa) in April 2008. In each country a duo was formed containing of a European and an African Hip-Hop artist. Together they visited HIV&amp;Aids related youth projects, gave workshops to local youth and musicians on how to use music as a tool of expression and education and gave a free concert where the local youth got a change to show their talent. They also recorded 3 tracks for the album and recorded a music video together with the media team.</p>
<p>I was part of the media team that traveled along with the artists to capture all of the activities. The virus free generation hip-hop tour could be followed live on the website, which was updated daily from Africa with Photos, Videos (webisodes) and a Blog. I also created most of the print design for the campaign surrounding the european part of the tour.</p>

<h3>Thesis</h3>
<div class="borderTop"></div>
<div class="postContainer">
<p>When I got back from Africa I also wrote a thesis about the future of Internet in Africa, which gave me a change to put everything I had experienced into writing and formulate a vision of what the impact on internet will be on African society and the youth. To do this I compaired the internet usage of the west over time in relation to society with the situation in Africa now and the possible differences it could make.</p>

<p><em>Wat voor invloed zal het internet gaan hebben op de Afrikaanse jeugd?<br />
De eerste keer dat deze gedachte in mij op kwam was toen ik op dag twee van de Virus Free Generation hiphop tour. Daar stond ik dan, met een onbekend team en 2 rappers in een klein stoffig en donker klas lokaaltje in Tanzania. Een jongen van een jaar of 11 stond zonder angst, of onzekerheid, op en begon tegenover zijn idool te rappen, het gevoel van ongeloof over hoe ik hier terecht was gekomen verdween, en voor het eerst werd ik geconfronteerd met het talent van de Afrikaanse jeugd, iets wat ik de 10 komende weken nog vaak zou ervaren. Wat zouden deze kinderen allemaal kunnen bereiken als ze toegang hadden tot computers en de informatie op internet? en wat voor invloed zou dit hebben op hun leven? waren vragen die nog vaak terug zouden komen.</em><br />
