I created this graphic to show students my thinking when I created a Zeega. They can use it to then plan their own digital story using any digital storytelling tool.

I have created this Blendspace ‘lesson plan’ as a suggestion for those in #CLMOOC right now to collaborating on whatever they wish to feedforward into the near, mid, and far term. Embedded here are directions and resources for creating Zeegas. Even better I have also made this a collaborative space. Very recently, Blendspace was bought and folded into Wikispaces and TES. Part of that deal made the collaborative part of Blendspace free! Now you can edit and fix and renew and remix and add to the Zeega project below by using this link: https://www.blendspace.com/lessons/VdVdQa4Uu95epg/collab/TYAEmuVwjcMVctXxvoJSlTpknmiBhREs/register What the addition of Blendspace and… Read more »

If you were to look closely around your classroom, we suspect you’d find more than a few budding graphic novelist hard at work on a comic strip. Why not think of comics as a literary experience? There are plenty of online webcomic makers (see one list below under Tutorials), emerging apps for mobile devices, and the old-fashioned but tried-and-true technology of paper and pencil. The beauty of comic making is that it combines the power of the narrative with the impact of the visual. Inference is a key component to composing a comic, as well. Scott McCloud’s work on comics… Read more »

Sharing knowledge and expertise is part of the legacy of work done in the CLMOOC and beyond. The Make Bank is a place for both finding ideas and for giving back to the larger community. Use the Make Bank to explain something you did, or how to use a new technique or tool for making learning happen.

This lesson plan will show librarians and media specialists how to use a Raspberry Pi to create a “Selfie Station” for students or patrons to snap a picture of themselves with their favorite book that will automatically upload to a blog that can be potentially connected to Apple TV or another display method in the library. Showing young people what their peers are reading helps to promote reading for pleasure.

Welcome to Make Cycle #6 in the Making Learning Connected collaboration! For this sixth Make Cycle, we will think about the power of images, and what it means to compose a text visually. When composing with images, we are forced to think critically in a way that focuses us on our intent in order to get a clear message across. To this end, we will focus our explorations on the concept of a 5-Image Story. According to Wesley Fryer’s “Mapping Media to the Common Core,” a 5-Image Story is a “collection of five images which tell a story of some… Read more »

Using a touch interface for naturalistic sketching/water-colour painting can be complex if the application has a steep learning curve. Having just downloaded https://www.fiftythree.com/paper I have done my first sketch. I was interrupted by my 5 year-old who instantly took over and showed me the intuitiveness of the interface. Zero explanation, it is the closest I have seen to a piece of paper and a few pens, pencils, water-colour box. Amazing!

This process takes a digital image and converts it into audio. It sounds odd and it is. But what would a picture sound like? Using a freeware for PC called AudioPaint (http://www.nicolasfournel.com/audiopaint.htm) that does just that. You import an image, tinker with settings along a spectrum of light and sound, and export the audio interpretation of your image.

Soundscape stories unfold through the active ears of the listener, as the stories are constructed entirely in sound effects and audio files of the surroundings. Much like one plans out a written story, a soundscape composer must carefully choose and sequence sounds so that the clips are threaded together. While one could certainly record their own audio files for use in a Soundscape story, some sites also offer up files for use, including Freesound.org. A sound editing tool — such as the open-source Audacity or Mac-based Garageband — allows you to stitch the sounds together to create an audio story.

Create animated stories using ArtPad and Screencas-o-matic. Draw and paint a picture. Write a story about it. Then while replaying the painting of the picture capture it and your reading of your story with Screencast-o-matic. Voila, you have a video of your animated story with narration.
