    Spin is designed to promote student reflection on the power of words and images by creating and altering meaning in a fictional narrative. This fast-paced, small group storytelling game provides students the experience of "spinning" a story in different directions to convey diverse storylines or viewpoints-much like it occurs in print, broadcast, and digital media today.

Anthropology of Social Behavior in BioShock - 2 views

  •  
    While playing BioShock, we are conducting an anthropological investigation that has a direct effect on how we interact with the narrative and the choices we make. Similar to Fallout 3, as discussed in Trevor's post, we are given the chance to explore a world, make our interpretations about what it means, and directly apply these to the game.

    Interesting (and off-putting) that they chose Facebook as the main communications platform. One has to join a FB group to participate. Then again, it's organized by Israelis, and FB is even more ubiquitous in Israel than in the US.

    Good point. I wonder why FB. Easy tool for adding and accessing content, if it's that widespread among their population.

    I've seen lots of DH projects that attempted to build their own independent social networks. It's an incredibly steep uphill battle.
