Team 1’s initial brainstorming ideas for the Peoples Stories website were three fold. Firstly to examine the website itself which will include aspects such as how registration is dealt with by the older generation. How attractive the website is to potential users and also how easy the website is to navigate for older people. Secondly to examine reviews and statistics regarding the elderly online. To get an idea of how many of the older generation use computing and the internet. Also to examine the possibility of creating a focus group involving a local section of the older demographic. Through this the ability to investigate whether over 65’s use social networking, or would be willing to do so may also become possible. Thirdly the premises of using school projects to assist in helping older people to engage with computing and the internet. Exploring how children could help teach their grandparents or anyone else from the older generation how to upload data such as photo’s. As a result it may also help children to learn more about their home town history. It could even involve them more with museums and local historical societies, and act as a tool to aid the younger generation in their education.
