I started a collaborative activity in our NetNarr repose week(s). This came about from a Twitter DM conversation amongst a few of the open participants. I threw it out into the wild and the response has been fantastic, moving and multi-dimensional. The challenge for any learning activity is how much structure to put around it and how much structure is put upon us because of the tech/app used. This has continues to surface in the Network Narratives course/event/LOOM as people become aware of how much structure they are used to and comfortable with and looking for in learning. While trying to sort out another activity (which is currently stalled) there was this quote: " I will say that the more boundaries we give ourselves, the better it will be." Sandy Brown Jensen. I don't like boundaries, I don't. I don't like fences, I don't. I watch with trepidation as a fence is built at work, where before it was open space, free for desire paths to be...
What a great way to finish up 2018 #NetNarr with a 'green-screen-faking-it' video from Mia Zamora and Alan Levine. I just want them to shake hands so I know it's real!

' When we look closely at our screens, what do we see, both in ourselves and in our society? And are the screens and networks behind it seeing us back?

In this empty classroom the whiteboard is white the tables are clear and the screen, (the promise of the screen) is partially rolled down.
