Mozilla’s Doug Belshaw says that the “heart” of “digital literacies” is the Remix. Kirby Ferguson eloquently encouraged us in his TED talk to “Embrace the Remix”, because, as his enlightening documentary series reminds us, “everything is a remix”. Newspaper blackout artist and award-winning author Austin Kleon’s advice to budding creatives is to “Steal Like an Artist”, because “you are a mashup of what you let into your life”. Our students are engrossed in remix culture - they are the appropriation and recontextualization generation. Remix calls for knowledge and understanding, critical, higher-order, and design thinking, a variety of tech skills, and, frequently, collaboration and navigation in the greater media landscape. Most importantly a remix task offers students a chance to truly transform a work and create something unique - something that will contribute to their digital presence and legacy. This session is part pedagogical/philosophical and part participatory. Attendees will leave with a “goodie-bag” of resources and ideas in the form of an ever-growing G+ community to organize resources and serve as a space for sharing participant work and continuing the conversation long after the conference has ended.
The slide show offers a glimpse into the history of remix in the art world and its significance in our present media landscape. We’ll explore how different techniques of remix and mashup lend themselves to collaborative creativity and differentiation in the classroom. We’ll also look into the distinctions between “remix” and “rip-off” and discuss the ways in which to help work become transformative rather than mere copies. There will be some discussion of copyright reform, fair use, and creative commons as well. Philosophically we’ll look at the work of William Burroughs, Grandmaster Flash, and Andy Warhol as well as the more recent efforts of writer Austin Kleon, media theorist Henry Jenkins, MIT Media Lab Lifelong Kindergartener Mitch Resnick, documentary filmmaker Kirby Ferguson, and the online course DS106.
We’ll explore how social media in particular inspires recontextualization and re-imagining. And, in an era of ever-abbreviated communication, we’ll look at various ways to essentialize and synthesize into more minimalist, visual interpretations.
The Cloud is Our Campfire: Crowdsourced Creativity BLC15Amy Burvall
***please note that videos will not play
The Open Web is facilitating the power combinatorial creativity like never before. While creativity has always been about remix and “standing on the shoulders of giants”, our networks now allow for boundless creative connections and collaborations. What happens when hundreds or even thousands contribute even the smallest bit to the project pie? How can educators and students participate in established crowdsourced projects, as well as develop their own? The Cloud has become our campfire, where we compose and share stories with the ever increasingly varied media available to us. Technologist Dr. David Weinberger famously noted that “The smartest person in the room IS the room”- can we then apply that concept to creativity? Could what we make together be more poignant, more powerful, and more interesting than anything we could have created individually?
In this session participants will explore various established projects and imagine how they might be applied in their courses or professional development plans. We’ll also take some time to ideate one or more original projects that could be implemented with existing tools.
In this workshop we explored the essence of creativity and how to cultivate a creative creative climate in the classroom. We explored low barrier entry ways to get students thinking and working more creatively on a daily basis, using both digital and analog tools and strategies.

This is an amazing time to be a storyteller. The democratization of the tools to create, combined with rapid changes in media consumption mean that there are more ways to tell stories than ever before. The creative possibilities are endless but where do you start? How do you extend the stories you want to tell beyond a single screen?
This is part of a presentation that I made at Power to the Pixel 2010. It shares how I design and build storyworlds with the goal of engaging audiences whilst at the same time tap new forms of funding and revenue streams.
Tumblr: The Marketing Powerhouse Your Nonprofit May Be OverlookingAmanda McCormick
Tumblr -- since it's billion dollar sale to Yahoo in May, it's been all over the tech press, yet to many nonprofits, the red hot blogging network remains an inscrutable barrage of fashionable hipsters and wacky cat GIFs. Tumblr has many payoffs for those looking to get the word out about their organization on a small budget, especially those who are already adept at cultivating micro-networks on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest. In this session, we'll talk about the myths, misconceptions and powerful opportunities of this growing platform -- with a special focus on transferring strategies you may already use to create an active army of supporters on Tumblr.
Join us and learn:
Inspiring examples of how nonprofits are using Tumblr to create new followers and engage existing ones

3. 3 tenets of Storytelling in a Digital Age
Storyworld
Character
STORY
@RhysMT / Cyfle
5. • “When I first started, you would pitch a story
because without a good story you didn’t really
have a film.
• Later, once sequels started to take – off, you
pitched a character because a good character
could support multiple stories.
• And now, you pitch a world because a world can
support multiple characters and multiple stories
across multiple media”
• Hollywood Scriptwriter – cited by Henry Jenkins
“Convergence Culture”
@RhysMT / Cyfle
6. • You want to create an immersive world, where
your audience can dive into and explore –
never leaving until they choose to
• You need to be able to answer the question –
In a world where this happens what would
you, the characters, the audience do?
@RhysMT / Cyfle
7. The Basis of a Storyworld = the World
of your Story
• Where does the story take place? Real or Imaginary
World or Something Else?
• What are the rules / society is there? Dictatorship,
Democratic, Cooperative, Police State or Something
Else?
• What kind of Religion exists? Secular, Singular, Atheist,
Multi Dimensional or Something Else?
• When does it take place? Past Present or Future?
• And so on and so on
• Everything should mean something and there should
be a reason for everything
@RhysMT / Cyfle
8. Task 1
• Create your own Storyworld!
• Looking back at the previous slide – answer
the questions in relation to a world that you
have created – and for your story to exist in
@RhysMT / Cyfle
9. In an immersive Storyworld in a Digital
Context –
• You need to allow space for the audience to
become involved, to explore, to create their
own content
@RhysMT / Cyfle
10. • For exploration, you need to create Rabbit Holes
– a place for the audience to “fall down” and
discover hidden depths to your Storyworld (think
Alice in Wonderland)
•
• For allowing the audience to become involved
and create their own content, you need to create
Cheese Holes – where you leave parts of the
story untold so that the audience can interact
with them, or write their own mythology / create
their own content
@RhysMT / Cyfle
11. The other side of your Storyworld,
• You need to spread this world you’ve created
across several platforms, each with their own
unique style and form of engagement
• For example –
@RhysMT / Cyfle
12. Lance Weiler’s Platform Storyworld
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Film
Community
Games
Fan Fiction
Toys
Books
Graphic Novels / Comics
Serial Content
User Generated Content
@RhysMT / Cyfle
13. Task 2
• Storyworld Platforms
• Make a list of the different platforms your
Storyworld will exist on
@RhysMT / Cyfle
16. Character Knowledge
• Answer who they are, what they believe in, why
they believe in it
• Know their full history – where they come from?
what they do? what they believe in? who their
best friend was in school and so on
• Know how they’d react in any situation or
emotion – anger / happiness / the birth of a child
/ the death of a friend or more mundane
situations like what they watch on tv / what they
like to eat and so on
@RhysMT / Cyfle
17. Task 3
• Character
• Looking back at the previous slide –
Create 2 characters that have opposite traits
to each other (for example a Vicar and a
Rocker)
• Now answer the questions using these two
characters
@RhysMT / Cyfle
18. • Digital is a lean forward experience – so make
sure that your characters are fully rounded
individuals, engaging – you’re literally looking
right into the whites of their eyes
• “LonelyGirl 15”
• If you don’t make them someone an audience
can relate to – then they can turn away
• “Kate Modern”
@RhysMT / Cyfle
19. • We live in a world of social media – people will
expect / enjoy being social with your
characters (so you need to be ready for any
situation or question)
• Remember though – Online / mobile / tablets
people will react differently to your characters
from the TV or a movie
• Your characters need to be their friends, they
need to be someone a person can relate to
@RhysMT / Cyfle
20. Character and Social Media
• With an engaging character you can really use
Social Media to expand your audience base, or
your market reach
• Understand who your audience is, what do
they want and where do they want it?
@RhysMT / Cyfle
21. Task 4
• Looking at both your Storyworld and your
Characters - Who do you think your audience
is?
• Write a short paragraph describing your ideal
audience member
@RhysMT / Cyfle
22. • However, your social media content must
reflect your audiences digital habits, for
example –
• People will not stay engaged with a blog post
that’s 3000 words – it’s more effective if it’s a
1000 word blog
@RhysMT / Cyfle
23. • People are more likely to share comment and
engage with visual content that is short, funny
and relevant to them
• People enjoy a space where they can show off
their own creativity
@RhysMT / Cyfle
24. For example, on Twitter • Use Twitter to share opinions, engage with the
public, share other peoples content /
comment on situations and so on– all works
towards creating a loyal following
• For Example – “Shit my dad says…”
@RhysMT / Cyfle
25. Task 5
• Taking one of your characters –
Write 3 short tweets that gives their opinion
on X Factor / Clowns and French Classes in
School
@RhysMT / Cyfle
27. For example, on Facebook
• Use Facebook as a place to encourage user
generated content, fans engagement with each
other, running competitions, a timeline of
updates, creating immersive campaigns and so on
– all works towards creating a loyal following
• “Old Spice campaign”
• Remember though –
• Facebook is very quick, you don’t really get time
to read a deep immersive story (before someone
else has shared another picture or update)
@RhysMT / Cyfle
28. Task 6
• On paper, imagine what the Facebook update
would be about one of your characters going
to Ibiza
• You need to describe a series of three
photographs taken whilst there (for example
this could be a series of tagged drunken
images) – with a caption headline to go with
each photograph
@RhysMT / Cyfle
29. For example, on YouTube
• Use YouTube as a place to encourage
interactivity, as a place to encourage user
generated content – through parody /
responsive videos, fan engagement with your
content / opinions – no real conversation
between user and content but a great way of
creating a loyal following
• “Parody – Downfall Hitler speech”
@RhysMT / Cyfle
30. Task 7
• What kind of User Generated Content could
your audience create around your characters
and / or Storyworld?
@RhysMT / Cyfle
31. However, a word of warning!
• Don’t lose your audience because you assume
they know what you’re thinking, because you
assume you know what they want, or you try
and do something just because you think you
know what they want!
@RhysMT / Cyfle
32. Finally (or initially),
• Once you’ve got your Characters and
Storyworld – you need to create a fantastically
interesting, fascinating and engaging story!
(not much then)
@RhysMT / Cyfle
33. Task 8
Story
• Look into your pockets / bag, and choose one
item (could be your phone / tobacco / pen
and so on)
• Now swap this item with the person to your
left
• Now create a story – with your new item,
using your characters set in your Storyworld
@RhysMT / Cyfle
35. Over the Break, Think of the Following Questions
Task 9
•
•
•
•
What Type of Story Do you Want to Tell?
Who will it Appeal To?
Why do you want to tell this Story?
Are you Passionate about the message? Or do
you want to entertain?
• Why should your audience care?
• What’s the heartbeat of the story?
@RhysMT / Cyfle
36. Task 10
• (using the characters / storyworld that you’ve
created and the thoughts on story that you
had)
Now tell your story
@RhysMT / Cyfle
37. Some thoughts on Story,
• Find something you’re passionate about – and create
something that will make other people passionate
about it
• You must be story centric and not platform centric! It’s
not about the flashy technology or the latest greatest
advancement in interactivity – all of this means
nothing if you haven’t got a great story!
• What works well in a digital world – Sci
Fi, Conspiracy, Teen HOWEVER this doesn’t mean that
other styles can’t work in this field!
@RhysMT / Cyfle
38. Some tips from Alison
Norrington, Storycentral
• Story is about eternal, universal forms, not formulas
• Story is about archetypes, not stereotypes
• Story is about thoroughness, not shortcuts
• Story is about mastering the art, not second guessing the marketplace
• Story is about respect, not disdain for audience
• Story is about originality, not duplication
@RhysMT / Cyfle
39. Final thoughts,
Be relevant
Be credible
Be spreadable
Be exceptional
Be genuine
