7. And are lives are ‘storied’
We are multi-faceted and multi-storied
Aggregating and rearranging our social media
postings can represent these facets
And, as long as we are alive and tweeting,
these stories evolve
We can either be intentional or un-intentional
autobiographers…

11. Developing, and breaking apart, a
story
Just because the tools use 140 characters or
15 seconds of video doesn’t mean that the
same rules do not apply.
Storyboarding, preplanning pays off
Once you have the story you can ‘parcel’ it out
Multiple medias allow for creative expression
◦ Parsing out the action to twitter, dialog to
video, scene transitions to images, etc…
13. Telling along ‘the arc of critical hope”
In stories that are meant to project our work
forward we create an arc of the future.
A storytelling challenge – find and tell the arc
of critical hope
Naiveté or despair are the easy arcs
Storytelling is a curatorial process (with social
media)
14. Tech mediating the story
Multi-medias
Peer interaction – it is ‘social’ media – opening up the telling to multiple perspectives, voices…
Stories as magnets or sponges
19. Hashtags…narrative glue
# used to group messages on many social networking sites
A sorting and metadata mechanism
3rd party services can aggregate across social networks
(eg, tagboard)
24. An experiment in storytelling
Working with 4-H youth to re-tell Romeo and
Juliet using social media

Or as rod stewart would say…every picture tells a story, don’t it.The explosion because social media can feel like that – fragments flying apartBut what we want to talk about is weaving the pieces back together in a meaning way, a narrative reconstruction
From rock face to rail car to storefront to …virtual
Viewpoints, differing perspectives on same event. Ability to open a story to multiple views
