The Digital Rocking Chair's insight:
Tony Sauro: "These days, William Shakespeare’s “all the world” is more than just a theatrical “stage.” It’s a drama. A film. A radio play. Twitter improvisation. A photo documentary. Live “streaming.” Video games."

The Digital Rocking Chair's insight:
Maniandr: "Hank Green and Bernie Su explore the power of storytelling in multiple forms of media; attracting younger generations to this canonical text. The modern day adaptation is by no means a replacement of Jane Austen’s eloquent words, rather this approach complements the novel through reader engagement and fostering divergent paths of thinking."

Can't help wishing I had found this when I was teaching Pride and Prejudice to my 9th graders. They would definitely have enjoyed it and it would've added a new spark to classroom discussions.

The Digital Rocking Chair's insight:
Karine Grande: "Paris porte-à-porte is a transmedia project which aims at celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Paris ring road by presenting its story. It combines a web documentary, an interactive map with flashcodes (symbols based on the technology of QR codes), a radio show and a collection of photos taken by drivers or the local residents.The web, the radio, the documentary and the cell phone are the mediums used to describe the ring road of yesterday, today and tomorrow."

Transmedia storytelling is trying to cover all content bases to enhance the consumer experience. It's a good example, but still early to judge the concept, need more examples.

It makes a lot of sense to use a variety of mediums to impart information and to teach with technology.

Set in the early 21st century and told through text, sound, images, music and games, ‘Inanimate Alice’

This week, I want to showcase two innovative projects which seek to explore the intersections between transmedia storytelling, participatory culture, and education -- Robot Heart Stories and Inanimate Alice.

Robot Heart Stories: Experimental learning project that challenges two underprivileged classrooms a country apart to help a "lost robot" home. The experiment connects technology, language skills, different cultures, and basically all subjects (math, reading, science, writing) in a fun game that is placing learning directly into the hands of all students. Inanimate Alice: Interactive episodes that combine text, sound, and images to tell the story of a young girl named Alice. Points out transmedia has long been property of commercial franchises aimed at young people, but questions the time lapse that occurs before society explored the implications of transmedia for education

Lance Weiler’s most recent project began with a simple yet provocative question: can a robot reboot education?
[An excellent example of transmedia in education.]

Considered as a revolution in the “book publishing” industry, Inanimate Alice is a multiplatform immersive project. Often presented as transmedia, mostly thanks to its interactivity and multimedia use, Inanimate Alice is an interesting case of storytelling usage.

Mona Shattell: "How does one go about an interdisciplinary project spanning art and science? How might this look? we set out to explore how mental health advocacy, video game design, and documentary filmmaking could come together to enhance understanding and fight stigma about mental illness."

Eager to learn more about 'For the Records' and it's dynamics--interactivity, audience participation, multiple threads--and where the gaming elements intersect with the other elements. All the things that create a rich sense of narrative transportation and multi-sensory experience may go a long way to shift perceptions through empathy.

The Digital Rocking Chair's insight:
Fiona Milburn: 'Cate McQuillen and Hewey Eustace of mememe productions are the creative force behind the Emmy Award winning dirtgirlworld. Made for 4 to 7-year-olds, this quirky eco-series and transmedia property teaches children that we protect what we love. Dirtgirlworld is a celebration of life outside with the main characters, dirtgirl and scrapboy, inviting us all to “go get grubby!”'

Understanding that people learn in a variety of ways, and that storytelling is tradition of humankind, it makes sense to tell stories using a variety of media. Hence, transmedia storytelling (Jenkins, 2007).
The Digital Rocking Chair's insight:
I've had a soft spot for Monster High ever since they first appeared on my 'transmedia radar' with their 2011 Kind Campaign involvement.

"Big Idea: With a trilogy of experiential learning projects, Reboot Stories aims to engage children from low-income school districts with imaginative and educational activities. Why It’s Working: Reboot Stories is pushing the boundaries of traditional learning by incorporating technology and multimedia into classrooms that otherwise would lack the resources to do so."

Some transmedia properties are entirely top-down, deploying fairly conventional models of authorship, despite their deployment across multiple media platforms. Others include strong elements of participatory culture. How central is youth participation in the production and circulation of media to your visions for transmedia education?

“It’s like having a story with three chapters,” Tromovitch said. “Each on a different medium. Film. Play. Radio play. Soundscapes with visual images, music and words. An improv troupe on Twitter.”
