[Air-L] Looking for recommendatio of Apps for doing Ethnography

[David Nemer]

Hi Heidi,

You may find some useful apps for your ethnography here:

During my ethnography I didn't use any apps per se, but I did use the
Google Glass which turned out to be an amazing tool for taking photos and
recording interviews... specially in areas such as the slums of Brazil (my
case).

I have worn it publicly during my fieldwork and the IR13 meeting in Denver.
To my surprise, my informants in the Favelas were quite comfortable with me
wearing it, they were also really interested in the gadget... but at IR13 I
was called names... go figure :-)
