I have tried to capture most of the previous discussions in this summary email (points below). We seem to have an emerging cluster and/ or project node, but it has been buried in another discussion thread. It has grown out of Peter's L4C K-12 training, a first for our WikiEducator community. In a previous post, Peter has said 1. [H]aving middle school and high school students collaboratively build OER would be an amazing thing. I'd hope we could get them building a complete K12 curriculum... I was discussing this project last night with Brad (the middle school director) and we are kicking around ideas for the theme of the content we believe the students would like to develop. We are thinking about local histories via story telling... We live on the west coast of BC and have very rich aboriginal history here. If we could have the students capture this along with some rich media we could build something special. maybe we should consider a theme where we gather rich media (photos, video, sound...) about the local geography and local stories around the geography, meybe even start to look for similarities and diffrences... 2.

The idea is to use those identity's as foundations, then building from there to where culture is not the main focus but the content of the story is. 4. I've been in touch with Michael David, who is developing a project focusing on storytelling for community radio.

As mentioned in point #5, there is a strong connection between storytelling as a means for evoking understanding, learning and action ~ and there are many possibilities here spanning the globe from conflict resolution, peacemaking, cultural identity-building, and sharing of experiences, practices, and connections. I hope we can explore these in this discussion, as well as develop collaborative projects under this 'umbrella'.

Hi Peter, I just found this resource from my interests in community economic development, tied to storytelling in Canadian northern communities. http://www.ccednet-rcdec.ca/files/ccednet/Storytellers_Final.pdf Storytellers' Foundation is based in the upper Skeena River region in northwest BC. The region is home to 14 distinct communities all located on the traditional territories of the Gitxsan First Nation approximately 300 kilometres inland from Prince Rupert on BC's northwest coast. About 6,500 people live in two municipalities (Hazelton and New Hazelton), seven reserves, two non-incorporated settlements and three valle The article identifies some of the initiatives connected to storytelling ~ interesting to know that this stuff exists. - Randy On Tue, Oct 28, 2008 at 11:44 AM, Peter [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: This article should be a must read for the people in this forming cluster; Web 2.0 Storytelling; http://net.educause.edu/ir/library/pdf/ERM0865.pdf Cheers On Oct 26, 7:46 pm, Randy Fisher [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks Tanyss ~ I'll look forward to hearing more about this - Randy On Sun, Oct 26, 2008 at 1:45 PM, Tanyss Munro [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Further to this theme, Randy, the modules we are developing with Rupantar in Bangladesh on building capacity in Local Government (a pretty dry subject area) has a story woven throughout.

I am interested in using storytelling for mathematics. There are some classic stories such as Hotel Infinity - but the goal would be for each person to create his or her own story about a topic. Here is a (very loose) summary of my plans, so far: - Either another human, or some software has to get people going, as far as math is concerned. The software can take the form of interactive prompts for each topic, based on prior mathematics education research of that topic's metaphors. For example, prompts for proportionality may have to do with uneven sharing (like pirates and the captain), or with body proportions (Vitruvian man vs. anime characters). The software will use a domain specific language to generate, basically, a mini-game that will serve as a story prompt, scaffolding the math parts but soliciting open picture and situation input from each user. - There should be all the usual social web support for sharing, commenting, expanding, embedding, ranking, tagging and so on of the resulting game and story objects. - There should be some way to expand metaphor collections for each topic, which will involve some basic programming - this can be implemented either by inviting everybody to program, or by inviting people to send suggestions to a team of programmers This is in the early research stages. I found people and software doing vaguely similar things, but I have not started to write detailed component descriptions. -- Cheers, MariaD I write, 'In the beginning was the Deed!' - Goethe, Faust naturalmath.com: a sketch of a social math site groups.google.com/group/naturalmath: a mailing list about math maker activities --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups WikiEducator group.
