Digital Writing Month - 0 views

  • Jeffrey Keefer on 01 Nov 14
     
    Digital Writing Month is a (somewhat) insane month-long writing challenge, a wild ride through the world of digital writing, wherein those daring enough to participate wield keyboard and cursor to create digital projects of text, image, and/or sound in the thirty days of November. Modeled after the inspirational National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo), DigiWriMo asks writers to be creative not just with their words, but also with other digital media -image, video, and sound - and with what those media can do. We will work to redefine "writing" in the digital, and not confine it only to words, but open up the possibilities of narrative and exposition within multimedia and multimodal projects. Where that "writing" resides, what it looks like, how it interacts with other works and authors, is entirely up to the wild imaginings of each DigiWriMo participant. Writers may choose to collaborate with one another on a long piece, like a novel or collection. They may conspire, co-author, cooperate, collude, or even compete… Blog posts, Twitter essays, podcasts, music videos, wiki novels, a tv pilot co-authored in a Google Doc, slideshows, academic articles, massively co-authored poems, songs, and novels are all potential ways to cross the finish line. The point is to experiment, to push our boundaries and create, and to locate our creations on the web, in relationship with other creations, other words and other authors. You do it your way, whatever way that is, and we'll provide the applause.

      "Time" becomes different when you are in an open online space. While we might put time constraints around ideas (this Make Cycle, this Learning Cycle), a true open learning space would allow entry and exit, and re-entry, at any point in time. This doesn't always jive with university criteria (finish this during this semester or you get an incomplete!)

      This is so important -- that we are not writing into the wind ... that others are out there, connecting and sharing and asking questions, and pushing us to ask questions, too. When that part of a cMOOC fails, the entire endeavor is pointless. I see a course like CCourses as a place to launch from as much as dive into.

The Zeitgeist - 1 views

  • Businesses often want to see the ROI of something before committing to it. This is just a defence mechanism to ensure the status quo. If we keep the investment low enough, we don’t need to worry about the return on it. This allows for wide experimentation; not quick wins but quick losses.

      Invite to do, low bar/small incentive, participation/experimentation.
  • The zeitgeist is the need for organizational change.
    • Terry Elliott
      Terry Elliott on 12 Oct 14
       
      Tell the story of the zeitgeist.
  • I usually suggest that it does not matter what you do, just do something. Let people safely experiment. I suggested to a school board that they give $100 to every teacher to invest in whatever they wanted, without any direction. Teachers could buy something for their classrooms, or perhaps a number of them could pool their money and make a larger impact. The cost would be low. The impact would be wide. The possibilities would be greater than any central committee could plan.

      This is so wise.  And reminds of the work that community organizers do.
