    crazy idea?: create a SUNY-wide alternate reality game that invites students from all over SUNY to collaborate to solve a complex mystery or puzzle of some kind and that involves using a variety of library and scholarly resources. Maybe even provide a forum for students to communicate and collaborate. If solved, SUNY libraries, for example, could donate books or other resources to some charity or cause?

  • As weary as I and others might be of the breathless microblogging-as-miracle media narrative,
  • And yet, I still think that at its core Twitter is simply right now’s next big thing, sure to be knocked off its pedestal by Google Wave or something else sooner or later. Moreover, it is following the predictable tech startup arc almost perfectly: Stage 1. Confusing blog buzz  Stage 2. Reactionary doomcrying about whatyouhadforbreakfast status updates Stage 3. Noticed by NPR, which flogs it to death Stage 4. Takes off in a big way Stage 5. Creators sell for billions or arrange an IPO (this is where we are currently) Stage 6. Finally, either A) relative stability (Facebook) or B) meteoric decline (MySpace)
  • Data visualization is the practice of summarizing vast amounts of information in graphical form. For a quick primer on the subject, see the examples at Information Aesthetics and the Periodic Table of Visualization Methods, or watch Gapminder creator Hans Rosling demonstrate the “beauty of statistics” in his TED presentation on global health.

  • After eons of being relegated to the nerdiverse, this is the year in which visualization tools finally made statistics sexy.
  • What started with the simple folksonomic word cloud has become something resembling a hurricane—from hilarious online dating analytics on OKCupid to textual visualizers like Wordle to en suite graphical tools in Digg and Delicious, visualization has finally gone viral
  • Twitter stands out because its simple, location-based transparency and relentless immediacy lend themselves perfectly to visualization—tweets come on so fast and furious that they are almost impossible to follow, making graphical summaries of user-generated content extremely useful.
  • Twitter visualization apps also allow users to chart their own statistics, taking the proverbial web-based navel-gazing to new depths
  • The rising popularity of visualization affects how people engage with our stock and trade: information. When data becomes prettier to look at, not only does it become more comprehensible,

    some cool ideas in here that have potential for IL instruction (twitter games, virtual meeting places based around a web page).
  • Dana Longley on 12 Mar 10
     
    Use potential? Twitter game where you give clues; students need 2 work in collab to decode/hunt down resources. Students create comic strip of screenshots of their research path and insert dialog showing their thoughts during the process (a creative form of journaling?)

    I now have it in my mind to create something like this for information literacy! Perhaps using screencasting and having students make critical choices in a sample research process that can then show them the outcomes of various strategies, from topic choice to searching to paraphrasing and writing.
