There’s all kinds of ways to tell stories. The music video has always been one of my favorites. Having the singer act out the lines from a song or the band members performing in unique situations, adds some punch or excitement to the music.…
#Lifeinthehood: Digital Storytelling Project #3 for #etmooc
I decided to create a collage of a Little Red Riding Hood themed photo shoot I did with my daughter.
All photos were edited in picmonkey.com
I wanted the series of images to hint at the story, and at the end throw in a twist (she’s wearing the wolf as a coat- a reference to the Roald Dahl poem)
A few weeks later, in the wood,
I came across Miss Riding Hood.

Let’s Find Out!
I recently read the following comment by Ms. Edwards on Denise Krebs’ post Connected Learning, Thanks to My Neighbors as Denise was contemplating self-determined or rhizomatic learning:

“Sharing Is Caring” – A story worth re-telling!
Although this tale has already been documented in my earlier posts, this powerful, inspirational story needs to be regularly shared with educators and their students.
Alan Levine (aka @cogdog) has challenged DS106 and ETMOOC participants to share “True Stories of Open Sharing … examples of times when there was an unexpected positive outcome after sharing something openly online.”…
Fearful horses
So I made these knife rests for a friend who lives in Kentucky. I haven’t sent them yet even though they have been completed since last summer. Why? Because of fear. What if she doesn’t like them? I rarely share my work and every time someone buys one of my pieces I am surprised.…
A #SixWordStory About Real-Life Superheroes!
Okay, so I’m quickly discovering that this digital storytelling topic is going to be full of fun! I love to create, especially when it involves imagery and storytelling. Yesterday, I saw this tweet retweeted in my stream and thought it was the perfect inspiration for a new #sixwordstory.…
Five Card Flickr Story: Many Paths
All of these images reminded me of taking a journey, and all of the new and invigorating experiences that come with that.
I think it would be interesting to create a specific classroom version of this game.

Could this be a new purpose/goal within K-12, higher ed, and the training departments out there? [Christian]
From DSC:
First, what prompted the questions and reflections that are listed below? For that, I turn to some recent items that I ran across involving the use of robotics and whether that may or may not be affecting employment:
The work of Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee; for example their book Race Against the Machine
Excerpt of description:
But digital innovation has also changed how the economic pie is distributed, and here the news is not good for the median worker.…
Barbie and the Seven Deadly Sins-DS106
So I have posted Barbie enacting four of the seven deadly sins to the DS106 website. I want to thank Laura Gibbs for turning me onto DS106 (even prior to our current assignment). I had so much fun with this assignment, shopping at Value Village for the dolls, thinking of the various scenarios (lust was the easiest!)…
