Session 2 was a day of archival research in the morning; students worked with Blount County Public Library staff and Blount County Genealogical and Historical Society volunteers. We then moved to a working lunch where Garrett Smith led an app design feedback session. Students and teachers contributed ideas about who should use the mobile app and it's ultimate function. In the afternoon, pairs or individual students conducted oral history interviews with local experts. Finally, students summarized what they learned over the course of the day's work, how that place-story should be represented in the app (e.g., archival photos, audio of oral histories), and what missing pieces of information they needed to track down before the final session on March 23rd.
