I created my first verse in this digital Universe. Shadows under my fingertips of possibilities. I continue to play the various examples that are given in this beta app (I love the 'b' word) and see how many different ways you can use it. This blog post may grow as I try different aspects. My ideas for future verses are these:
  • poetry with moving word blocks
  • add music to play in the background
  • pop out photos that lead the reader through a series
  • choose your own adventure
  • colour blocks in minnimalist style
  • multiple movie blocks

Padlet Poetry and Boundaries

Image
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...

The checklist is never complete

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! Two wonderful academics that have guided us through this maze we call Network Narratives. I'm wrapping up another #NetNarr event. The Final Final checklist suggested a few ways to curate what has been happening and I think this would be valuable for me now and as a way of reflection. Blog Posts http://netnarr.arganee.world/author/wendy-taleo/ Daily Digital Alchemies http://daily.arganee.world/hashtags/wentale/ From the 20 creations or interactions, one of my favourites was: From the Inside Out  that resulted in this video . Trees, crochet and cats! This also echoes an ongoing theme for me in Network Narratives: ~ The ability to see things in a different light ~ Twitter TAGS explorer  - Twitter, once again, provided a rich ground for interaction and connection in this course. The Summary doe...

Spin Bots and Story Shapes

Story shapes, Glitch Art and Network Improvisation. What a time we are having along this NetNarr road. Story shapes are a way of visualising the narrative. NetNarr  TagsExplorer by Martin Hawksey is rather mesmerising to watch. If you want to see where you sit in the 'eye', press Ctrl F and type your Twitter tag in there. This does not present any emotion between the nodes. In this article "The emotional arcs of stories are dominated by six basic shapes", Reagan et al  (2016) talk about measuring the popularity of emotional arcs in different stories and about 'shared emotional experiences'. I find this interesting to apply to the Networked Narrative that is happening between students that see each other face-to-face and those that have never met in that way. How much emotion do we share that could even allow us to match our experiences? Could this impact how we interact with Twitter bots, teacher bots or Twitter accounts of 'other' sort (like ow...
