Digital Storytelling: Embracing the Creative
I don’t think I like digital story telling. There, I said it.
Yes, I have a story to tell. Yes, I can do this digitally.
No, I don’t wanna.
Maybe I’m just from another generation (I’m 51) and just like having the story in my head, after reading the words on a piece of paper. …
ETMOOC – I want to learn from you all
It is an amazing world out there in education and technology and I want to find my way through it all. I want to find innovative tools and ideas to apply to my class that I teach. I am particularly interested in reaching hard to reach youth using technology.…
A Digital Story and A Reflection
I completed the revisions on my first video, what might loosely be called a digital “story”:
#winterwondergram: Patterns and Diversions
An Instagram Perspective Story
I’ve been doing a lot of experimenting with hashtags and social media lately, particularly because:
1. Finding stories with data intrigues me
2. I like the serendipity aspect
3. I want to further explore McLuhan’s “medium is the message/massage” concept

“The Tag Is the Soul of the Internet”
He addresses the McLuhan/Innis notion of bias in communication:

…Digital Storytelling – What Is It?
I thought I was on information over-load after the first three weeks of the etMOOC (Massive Open Online Course) I signed up for.

Explorations

I am experimenting with a variety of tools – feeling a bit like a groundhog – popping up to read and get ideas and then back in my burrow to experiment.…
Frustrations with Flip Books
To close out the first week of my digital storytelling explorations for #etmooc, I decided to try two new tools. I’ll talk about one in this post and the second in another post because (while writing) I realized each one requires a fairly detailed explanation.…
The Rhizomagic of MOOCs: an #ETMOOC Kind of Story
I have joined #ETMOOC late, but I’m glad that I joined. This week we are sharing stories, and I’ve chosen two. The first is a six-word tale with image.
The second tale is a repeat of something that has happened with every MOOC I’ve joined so far, but it’s still a fine story.…
Analyzing MOOCs – A SWOT Analysis
Reblogged from Andrew Spinner:
One of my many roles at @Understoodit includes conducting onging analysis and research of education technology tools and trends. One of the most interesting and heavily discussed areas relates to what is known as Massive Open Online Courses, or MOOC for short.
