Final Project: Historic Boston Reference Materials

Final Project: Historic Boston Reference Materials

1. The American Revolution ran from 1775 to 1783 and eight year period of time during which the Americans demanded and achieved freedom from the British Government.  The Boston Tea Party occurred in the city of Boston on December 16th 1776.  When three ships containing tea arrived in Boston Harbor.  Led by Sam Adams and the sons of liberty.

1776 map of Boston - this is one of many historical maps of Boston - dated 1776.  One of the most astounding facts for me is that there was a significant part of Boston (today) that was underwater in 1776.  We are living on a landfill!

In 1776 Boston with a population of 15,000 was the second to largest city in what is now the United States .Largest Cities in the US in 1776    This next link provides all kinds of information about what Boston looked like in 1776 and how it grew over time. Boston History  Beginning with a comparison of today's map of Boston to one in 1776.   The look and feel of Boston in 1776 would be more like farm country to me today.  Animals were common, they were used for transportation, food, clothing etc.  The clothing very conservative and consistent with that era.  

There are a number of man made structures from 1776 - not the least of which was Fort Independence located at Castle Island occupied by the British in 1776 before they were chased out.  Many of our natural barriers assisted with this altercation: the Charles River, the Concord River, the number of mountains and hills and vegetation that provided protection to the american soldiers during this war.

This is really a neat tool to collaboratively work with a group to set up events and know who is interested and what is happening as the event gets closer.

Class 10: Instagram as a collaboration tool

INSTAGRAM:

In another class I took here at Boston College, (A marketing class with Prof. Nick Nugent) we learned that we are currently in “the decade of Instagram”. What that means is that Instagram is the fastest growing social media platform and one of the most popular in terms of marketing. If a company or team wanted to collaborate using Instagram as a platform, it would be easy for a few reasons. The first and biggest is the use of hashtags, which can easily group things into categories, and another is the ability for more than one person to run a single account. With the combination of these two, a team could consistently be posting and hash tagging on instagram which would help get their name out and possibly begin a much bigger marketing process.

Instagram is also widely used for a similar reason by individual people such as celebrities. Individuals can market their own products, or create posts to build their fan bases by using Instagram and hashtags.

Instagram is a photo sharing  social media venue.  It has a number of features: There is instant sharing to social media sites with unlimited upload capabilities.  It also allow “tag” capabilities like facebook where you can provide information on the pictures.  I tend to use instagram a lot more than snapchat as instagram allows comments to be posted back and forth which adds to the collaborative nature and benefit of the application.  

Instagram is known as an online mobile photo-sharing, video-sharing and social networking service that allows users to take photos and videos. Also, it allows users to share those photos on a variety of social networking platforms, including Facebook, Tumblr, and etc. One unique feature of Instagram is that photos are confined in a square shape, which looks similar with Polaroid images. The maximum duration for videos is 15 seconds. In December 2013, Instagram introduced a new feature called “Instagram Direct” which has a feature of sharing photos with a specific user or group of users. Similar with a privacy setting of Facebook, Instagram users can change the setting so that photos are not viewable by general public.

Users can share photos only with people who follow them. If users want to share photos or video clips with users who do not follow them, that recipient will get an alert that photos/clip has been shared.

Class 10: Snapchat as a collaboration Tool

SNAPCHAT:

In one of the recent snapchat updates, they added a feature that allows friends to transfer cash to one another. Snapchat partnered with a company called Square Cash. Square cash is a money transferring app that allows you to transfer money to your friends quick and easy if you don’t have cash in hand. To do this you must first make an account with Square Cash. Once you have an account all you have to do is go to the text chat page of Snapchat and type a dollar sign ($) followed by a numerical value. It will then ask for confirmation before transferring the money to it’s desired destination. For example, if I wanted to send a dollar to a friend of mine, I would go to a blank text chat page on Snapchat, find their username, and send them a message that reads “$1.00.” Once I confirm that I want to send a dollar to that particular friend, it would transfer into their account.

One of the features that was launched last fall is called “my story” which is an interface that lets users share multiple snaps with all of their friends in a feed that will not disappear for 48 hours. Now it is expanded to the “our story” feature.

Snapchat is a great way to communicate with friends, posting pictures and videos creating a great collaborative environment that does not get old as it expires quickly.  As many have said, one picture is worth a thousand words,the messages come across to give it context.  The flexibility of having this social media tool on the iphone makes the use very easy. It is a good venue but I have to say I like instagram better as it is a better ”collaborative” too.  Snapchat has a great financial tool as well called snapcash.

Also in a recent snapchat update, the ability to video chat live with another person was added to the software. Previously snapchat only supported sending photographs and videos up to 10 seconds long, but now with the video chat feature snapchat can become a quick conference collaboration tool. A video chat on snapchat can be opened in only a few seconds, and closed immediately, removing any signing into skype or other video chat software, and can even be quicker than facetime on iPhones because connection can happen much faster, and the other person does not have to have an iPhone.

One piece of information about snapchat that I did not know came from team Dartmouth’s report and told how the app itself was made by three Stanford University students. This is an example of what a simple collaboration project can become.

Class 9 : Google Docs HTML File

The steps to transferring my document from google docs to BC My files were few.  I down loaded the file to my computer from google docs.  unzipped the file and save it.  Viewed the document from  my web browser: screenshot below.

I then opened up myfiles@bc and uploaded the file.  - the link is below:
