The five-image story concept led to a six-image memoir in the CLMOOC as we thought about to represent one’s self via six images. This connects back to the earlier work with avatars, too. In essence, you find six images that represent how you see yourself. The six images could be aspects of personality, or they could connect together to create a visual interpretation of a Six Word Memoir. Pull them together into a collage/mosaic, or maybe into a digital story. Narrate, if interested, or let the images speak to who you are.

Think about how you might not just represent yourself, but also, how you will represent elements of your life or interests or personality in a visual way. How will the movement of your animation relate to the story you are trying to tell?

Canva is a tool for creating graphics of all kind: pinterest-style, social media graphs, posters, presentation slides, twitter headers, facebook covers… I am using it to help promote #clmooc, to introduce it in an image friendly way. You can easily imagine many ways to introduce yourself and others with Canva. I wish it was open source, but it isn’t. As for instructions? Well…it is sign up and follow your nose letting any purpose be your guide. It is easy to play on the site and easier still to share what you make. In an era of copyright madness, it is… Read more »

Use a tool like Vizify to create a “graphical bio” for yourself (as a means of introducing yourself to the community) or for a character (as a means of transformative visualization and analysis). Think about focused bios, as well. Perhaps you can use this make to chart your summer touring with the band or traveling to see the world. Other tools or ways you might do this are shown in the examples below.

This is the first homework assignment in my multimedia class. It introduces me to the students and gets them quickly into the kind of work they’ll do for their first project. I love the way it marries creative writing and technology. Write a poem in the style of George Ella Lyon’s “Where I’m From”. Record the poem. Optionally, add a music soundtrack. Post your recording on SoundCloud. Optionally, add an image to the SoundCloud post. Share the SoundCloud posting. For details, resources and an example, click the “Adapted from” link.
