Digital 2.0 lets you fill your (pretty and reusable) bag of tricks with lots of exciting skills and experiences see slide 20 of | View | Upload your own
Digital 2.0 can take you places that you might not have been without you falling down. It is scary, exciting and constraining at the same time; and sold as a leisure commodity.
What could be more mashed up than a quilt? ...made of fabrics that have been cut and assembled with craft and to form a concept (and keep you warm) .... each of which (fabric) ..............may have been printed or embroidered or otherwise embellished ..............and is woven from threads .....................each of which may be dyed and is definitely spun with other threads So it takes skill, imagination, and the work of others to make a Digital 2.0 creation
One of my favorite sessions at the last Emerge online conference, Exploring User 2.0, was the hands-on closing session on Digital Storytelling. John Sandars invited us to upload a single image 'that represents your feelings about engaging with web 2.0 technologies' prior to the session, and we talked through 12 submitted pictures.
The session was very lively, thought provoking and funny. People who had submitted pictures and were present talked through what they were trying to get at. Some people adopted orphaned slides and tried to imagine what their creators had been trying to get at, or made up their own versions. There was a fair amount of collective meaning making, and many salutary reminders that meaning is a slippery, uncontrollable beast.
If you’d like to join in, you can go do so now with this special extended SlideShare version. All the slides are up, accompanied by snippets from the sessions text chat. Please do add your own thoughts or impressions to one (or more!) of the pictures.
If one of the pictures is yours, I’ll be asking you to send me further details for posting next week (once everyone has had a chance to peruse the images and leave comments). I’ll be asking for a sentence of what the picture is of (& how it was made, if that’s relevant) and info about what you were trying to represent.
To me, the session really represented the strengths of our serious fun ethos - using an innovative approach to reflective practice to scratch well past the surface of users experiences. Enjoy!
