    A very interesting and innovative storytelling game for two players. How it works is that one player moves the "game" characters around a stage, selecting any object to interact with as he pleases. The other player is the "gamemaster", who determines how the selected object / character will interact with the "player". Each side takes 30 seconds per turn... which leads to very interesting results. Very useful for making flipbooks, interactive real-time storytelling. This storytelling game helps to restore the ancient art of making up engaging stories in real-time, as you go along. For an animated explanation of how the whole thing works: http://sleepisdeath.net/slideShow For an example story (this one is about a 5-years-old boy during the atomic bombing of Hiroshima...): http://sidtube.com/gallery/168/ More stories: http://sleepisdeath.net/stories.php Have fun exploring the stories! :)

    Very interesting. This articles talks about pacing in activity by using example of gaming. I have always believed in progressive advancement in difficulty or challenge, reward or difficulties ( be it anything) then this article differed this view. Example if you eat good restaurant food everyday, your taste bud will soon fail to distinguish good or bad food and just learn to accept. this could be applied to things we do in life - challenges, job satisfactions or even learning to get better engagement. It enlighten me on how true this is- in game series when they do or do not uses this approach, the successful one in the series are those used this such as MGS1 and MGS3 in the series and why not 2 because this factor - pacing.

    Twitter allows you to engage with professionals who you may never get the opportunity to meet or interact with in the real world.  Following professionals in your field can provide you (and your students) with insight into different fields of interest, both personal and professional.

  • The Games Businesses Play with Customers Boomers and Generation X will remember the days when the Yellow Pages was the encyclopedia of local business. Now services such as Foursquare bring the Yellow Pages alive. Add to the fact that the people we know and trust share their experiences and endorsements or critiques with every checkin, we’re given access to something quite remarkable. Additionally, businesses are given a special opportunity to learn more about the people who are checking-in and also about those who are not. Foursquare offers a powerful set of business tools that can help local businesses, chains, destinations, you name it, more effectively connect with the people who can not only keep them in business, but grow it as well.
  • Kartini Ishak on 20 Jul 11
     
    What we can learn is the creation of more meaningful experiences, from this Foursquare study, is that reaches out to people and engages them.

Q&A: Bill Gates on Flying Cars, the Malaria Epidemic, and Article-Writing Robots | Wire... - 0 views

shared by yeuann on 22 Apr 13 - No Cached
  • Wired: You’re interested in massive open online courses and have championed Salman Khan’s videos. If these had been around when you were young, would it have affected your schooling? Gates: No. For a highly motivated learner, it’s not like knowledge is secret and somehow the Internet made it not secret. It just made knowledge easy to find. If you’re a motivated enough learner, books are pretty good. Now, if you’re the kind of person who gets stuck on Chapter 5 and will give up if you don’t have someone to answer questions, don’t try and pick up the Feynman lectures on physics. That’s true whether it’s online or offline. A MOOC is an attempt to gather a group and encourage students, almost like a typical classroom, forcing you to interact during the lecture so that it kind of wakes you up and keeps you engaged. A hyperlearner doesn’t have to have those things.

    A research paper on how low-tech SMS can be highly effective for certain learning tasks such as teaching social English. And now, there's Whatsapp and other social-messaging platforms that can be an intermediate level between simple text messages that work on any basic phone, to sophisticated native apps that must be programmed for a specific operating system. "As SMS is technologically and functionally very simple, it can be considered to be a relatively primitive  technology. However, viewing it from another angle, we see that SMS ranks very highly in terms of user  convenience. Successful uptake of mobile learning strategy is more likely in the situation when "learning activities can integrate into our lives in an unobtrusive fashion". SMS can deliver information in this unobtrusive fashion more readily than other strategies. SMS, thus, can be regarded as a practical and realistic mLearning technology for use in natural settings at present."

7 "Must Do" Social Media Fixes For Business | Joerg Weishaupt - 0 views

  • Be Proactive
  • Listen
  • .  People are now, more than ever, voicing their opinions online to thousands of people through social media channels like Twitter – and they expect companies to respond.
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • What happens if the company ignores it, is ignorant to the noise or is choosing not to engage in social media?  That pile of complaints only grows bigger.  As social media continues to grow, this is a trend that will only continue to grow.  If a business wants to make social media a part of their marketing and outreach efforts, then it’s necessary to stop talking once in a while and start listening.
  • Participate
  • It’s better to be involved so that a business can provide solutions and answers to issues that arise as opposed to being absent and letting the negative posts run their course.  If a company makes a concerted effort to rectify issues in social media, then others will see that effort and reward the company with their attention, understanding and likely their loyalty.
  • Respond
  • A part of participation as mentioned above.  You must respond in all instances.  While it used to be easy for a company to ignore letter writing campaigns and angry words through snail mail, that’s something that can’t be done anymore.  A company cannot ignore damaging accusations, especially through online interactions.
  • Responding doesn’t have to mean immediately giving in to people who are complaining or making demands of you.

  • ...5 more annotations...
  • Twitter is the prime example of where both strategies can exist, hand in hand. Many of the brands you follow are using both a push and pull strategy to engage their followers and also reach a small targeted group of people at the same time.
  • strong pull strategy here because they’re making use of the hashtags #sears and #tools, which is targeting those who may be following that hashtag as well as tweeting out a link to the tool itself with promotional copy
  • Facebook advertising is a push strategy.
  • Facebook apps are a pull strategy.  You’re generating interest in users when you put out a Facebook app. You’re putting something out there, and users will interact and provide data to you because they’re interested and want to.
  • social media is kind of a blurred line when it comes to whether a push or pull strategy is most effective and even more so when it comes to what tactics are TRULY push and TRULY pull. Social media is so interactive and has so many facets to it, that I think traditional push and pull strategies will be redefined to match our generation and the channels that we’re able to market on.
