Professor Mike Lockyer of CMAD (Community Media Applications Developers) University of Teesside demonstrates his fabulous new software tool “This is My Community” to groups from Margrove Park and Redcar.
The software allows groups to generate community information and digital stories linked to geographical locations. Margrove Park want to map the 1891 census to their homes and the Friends of Redcar Cemetery are mapping graves of note in Redcar Cemetery and telling the story behind the person laid to rest.
Mike said “the software is in it’s infancy and I want to talk to as many groups as possible at an early stage to tailor it to the users needs, ease-of-use is the keyword here”
