Crowd mapping

One of the many things I love about our students is the way they add to their own work, to the benefit of the community. The other day, I checked out the Where is Fletcher? crowd map that second-year student Jessica Heinzelman set up. (Are we surprised that her own internship was at Ushahidi, which is building a business on this type of platform?) The map is still evolving, but you can already get a sense of the breadth of activities that kept our “vacationing” students busy during the summer months.

Along the same lines (vacationing students building the community), if you haven’t yet seen this very sweet slideshow, I hope you’ll take a look.
