For this Make Cycle, we invite you to consider how the media we compose within (like print, sound, still and moving image, or objects) influence how we communicate and interpret. In this Make Cycle, we will mediate and re-mediate and reflect on how the affordances of different media impact our choices, processes, and meanings. Ryan moved from image to words in this remediation: Remediation – as we’ll be thinking about it here – is unrelated to another use of the term in education: we are not talking about “remediating kids” as in “remedy”-ing them. Here, the focus is on media,… Read more »
I brought up the idea of a “vine-off” because a lot of people are using Vine and running with it on the Google + CLMOOC and I thought it would be a fun collaborative “make” for all of us to use Vine and submit a video in a challenge. Karen Fasimpaur brought up the idea of submitting a make here, and then everyone could submit a different challenge in the comment box. The first challenge, for tomorrow, is to make your “monday morning” story. [Note: Please tag this one #vineoffmonday …and include a tag for any challenges you submit so… Read more »

Or here are a few apps for doing it: Jellycam: http://www.ticklypictures.com/shop/jellycam/… Read more »
Create an image or video that shows how a product, activity, place, or person might look in the future. Make a statement about where we are headed in terms of a social issue that matters to you. Be ready to explain how your creation is connected to real data or current scholarly thought. Adapted from: http://ltlatnd.wordpress.com/2013/06/28/artifacts-from-the-future
If you haven’t done so already, read the book Toy Box Leadership: Leadership Lessons for the Toys You Loved as a Child by Ron Hunter, Jr. and Michael Waddell. Pick a chapter that really speaks to you or collaborate with your peers to divide up the chapters. Think about what’s important in the chapter and work to summarize the authors’ thesis (main idea) and key points. What questions, ideas, concerns, or connections does this raise for you? How might this leadership lesson be important for students and student writers, not just corporate executives? Jot down your notes and ideas. Pull… Read more »
