GUNSHOW!

3/26/2014

 
Picture

Monday night, my students and I had the opportunity to talk food, foodways, and food ethnography with Kevin Gillespie and Joey Ward at Gunshow in Atlanta.

Picture

Kevin and Joey told two stories, seemingly about the two versions of banana pudding they prepared that night. In truth, though, the stories each brought into focus the power food has to evoke empathy and memory across time and cultures, bringing together people who seem to share no context whatsoever but who, through food, find that their disparate experiences resonate for each other in very meaningful ways.

Picture

Thanks, Kevin and Joey, for your generosity, your graciousness, and your willingness to engage in these conversations with us as we begin to think through the issues and questions that have compelled you both down the paths you have chosen!

Check out this write-up for a great list that purports to curate a group of exciting alternatives to Prezi.  But honestly, this list would be great for all sorts of digital publications!  





And here's a sample PowToon video for your viewing pleasure.

Multilingual Comic App?  Yes please.

3/12/2014

 
Picture


I just learned about another potentially very fun composing app - Make Beliefs Comix - that could be useful not only as a tool for creating a deliverable but for planning or storyboarding for future deliverables.  Seems simple, fun, and useful - key characteristics new tech tools need and often do not have!

More Whiteboard Inspiration for IGNITE presentations or for Digital Stories

1/23/2014

 
I am loving the look of whiteboard style digital stories and IGNITE or pecha kucha presentations, and I am excited for my students this semester to do some exploration of the options available and put them to use! 
I am really liking the look of this app, sparkol, and I hope that some of my students will get creative with it this semester.

How to Cite Twitter; or, Finally Citation Standards for Social Media.

9/24/2013

 
Picture
If you're like me, you spend considerable class time demonstrating to students the importance of digital publication of all sorts, from designing and authoring websites to tweeting, from creating a course Facebook page to submitting changes to an entry on Wikipedia.  

Much of my logic for their composing in digital environments rests on the immediacy of such composition and the concrete interaction with an interested audience that it provides communicators, but it also stresses the importance of such communication within intellectual conversations.  

Consequently, students in my courses regularly follow and join online conversations that relate to our course topics and the questions they are interested in engaging for their own research projects.  One stumbling block that we have faced - over and over and over - is the slow development of citation standards for digital publication.  But no longer: Aditi Rao at teachbytes and Camille Gamboa and SAGE to the rescue!
