To prepare for this session, please do the following (the list is long but each item is quick!): 

• Try annotating, following these instructions.  Click on the annotate button here, and select the question set for “Learning PECE.”  You’ll be asked to answer questions like these (you can answer all very briefly or not at all).  

• Collect a set of images, pdfs, urls, and other “artifact types” that you want to work with.  Ideally, these will be relevant to your interests in our COVID-19 project, but they don’t have to be.  Put them in a folder on your computer or online so that they are easy to access during our session. It is helpful to have a short title and two-liner for each “artifact” (photo, PDF, text) you want to add.

• Write short captions for some of your images. These can be drafty, or just “blah, blah, blah.”  

• Write or find pieces of your writing to upload as a PECE text artifacts or to add to a PECE essay.  Again, this can be “blah, blah, blah” if you want. 

• Add yourself to this slide deck (which we’ll use to create signage for your PECE work): Signage Slides PECE Tutorial COVID-19 Project

• If you have time: Learn to use Zotero, open source bibliography software that we run alongside PECE (there are many video tutorials on the Zotero site and youtube). Learning to use Zotero will allow you to contribute to the shared bibliographies for the T-D-STS COVID-19 project.  (Each PECE instance has its own Zotero bibliography, which feeds into PECE every few hours.)  Again: you can learn Zotero at any point but don’t have to before our tutorial).
