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! 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.

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 tale of the kangaroo and the fence. The kangaroo might have been Syrian children starved by their countrymen. Or maybe the indigenous kids at my son's school that I don't see because they don't come to school. The water might have been food trucks turned back at borders. Or a missed education. The fence could be a wall to block people joining their families. Or some crazy idea in the late 1800's to block rabbits (an introduced species that came over on boats) crossing Australia. The students might have been the paparazzi, hounding a Princess after a late night supper. Or digital humanists that observe their life through a writer's lense. The devices might have been social media that tracks the truth and fake-ness of what might or might not have happened. Or VR/AR/3D/4D/other-ness kind of things. The awe may have been Jason Silver embodying this through his Shots of Awe videos. Or not. The sorrow, ahhhh, the sweet sorrow. Might ...
