2Is the Pullman area a recreational wasteland?
3Our group says No!
- There are all sorts of things to do and see in
the Pullman area!
4- The purpose of our site is to show some of the
many activities available to WSU students and
people new to the Pullman area.
5- Our web site, titled Day Trips from Pullman,
will provide four detailed day trip examples. - Where to go
- What to see
- What to eat
- How much the trip will cost
- How long it will take
6- In addition, our web site will provide general
Pullman area information and links to other
information sources.
7- Dont despair if you are staying in Pullman over
the summer -
- You can have a wonderful time!
8Why is the website needed?
- There currently isn't a travel page catered
toward WSU students and Pullman newcomers. - Summer is approaching.
- People like picnics, sun tanning, getting out,
and seeing new things. - Many people seem to be unaware of what this area
has to offer.
9What purpose will the creation of this website
fulfill?
- This website will be focused toward students and
newcomers looking for day trips. - It will highlight scenic local areas.
- It will provide ideas for outdoor and indoor
activities near Pullman. - This website will also improve the image of the
Pullman area by letting people know how many
recreational opportunities we have here.
10Day Trips From Pullman Objective Statement
By highlighting daytrip ideas, this site will
introduce newcomers to many regional
opportunities for
- Food
- Dining
- Arts
- Culture
- Entertainment
- Sightseeing
- Shopping
- Recreation
11Our audience newcomers.
- These are not necessarily only WSU students but
rather anyone new to Pullman. - It could also include people of all ages who have
been in the area for a while, but who havent
taken the opportunity to explore.
12- Usually the best-kept secrets of a region are not
gleaned from typical resources such as books,
newspapers, and the web. - This is especially true of a small, rather rural
region. The good stuff is often learned by word
of mouth.
13- Our team will attempt to fill this information
gap. We will introduce you to the good stuff by
way of the back door.
14We will divide the area into four obvious
regions where we will conveniently share many of
the fun and diverse things to see and do.We
will give directions and provide information on
- Appropriate apparel
- Links
- And well show you many web-friendly photos!
- Food
- Costs
- Timing
- Weather
15- For example, you might have heard someone mention
the Snake River. Well, the Snake River is many
miles long. Where do you go, what route do you
take, what is there to do? - Grandma and Grandpa might not be thrilled with
the Dunes. The Dunes is a wonderful example of
the geology of the Palouse, but depending on the
time frame, they might think they were at Miami
Beach on spring break! We will share that type
of information here.
16Specifics to meet
17Welcome the audience and state the purpose of the
site
- Pullman and the surrounding areas provide many
fun and diverse things to do and see. - These opportunities have been captured and
conveniently presented for you here.
18Introduce the reader to Pullman and the regions
surrounding Pullman.
- Define and display the regions surrounding
Pullman for organizational/navigational purposes.
- (Note Well talk about this in more detail later
in the presentation.)
19Narrate example day trips and/or possibilities
from each region.
- In each example, discuss these factors food,
costs, time, clothing, weather, what to wear. - In each narrative, provide
- area maps
- directions
- mileage estimates
- 1-2 images of selected destinations
- links to general resources, online maps, etc.
20Methods or Process
21 - Each person in the group is responsible for a
particular daytrip. They will research and write
their own section, based on a particular model. - Kefi Lewis Pullman
- Jenny Baylon Spokane and vicinity
- Mark Eberhardt Southeastern Washington,
including Palouse Falls - Deb Marsh Northern Idaho
22 - Our site will have some similar features to the
Travel Portland site, especially the daytrip
section. Heres a look at what theyve done with
daytrips - http//www.travelportland.com/visitors/daytrips/ho
od.html - Overall, their site offers many things that we
are unable to do in the time we have. Deb will
show you later exactly what we have planned.
23 - Heres a site that shows a couple of daytrips
from the Pullman area. However, the overall site
has a different purpose (promoting the entire
Northwest regions outdoor activities). Our site
will provide not only outdoorsy information, but
also ideas on indoor activities (arts, dining,
shopping, etc.), and we will only cover the
greater Pullman area. - http//www.northwestoutdoors.com/
24 - I think our site will be better than either of
the ones we just saw because it wont have any
advertising!
25 - Besides dividing up regions, weve divided up
some of the overall work. - Each person provided information for part of this
Site Proposal, then I organized the PowerPoint
presentation. - Deb has done the storyboard, again, with input
from everyone. - Kefi and Mark will do more of the actual website
work, with each of us providing information on
our region and daytrip.
26Evaluation Criteria
- Does the site provide useful information? Note
Our goal is not to tell everything about the
region, but to provide ideas. Specifically, does
our site detail four interesting day trips and
provide some regional information? - Is the site clear and well organized?
- Will some people enjoy the Pullman area more
after seeing our site?
