tellio on I had some fun this morning with a real play-baby of a networked tool, Yarn. I used it to respond to dogtrax’s decision to join with me on the Data Storytelling course sponsored by the Knight Foundation’s journalismcourses.org. My question: is the mashup below a ‘networked narrative’ and if so, why, and if not, why not?
tellio on Measure of American & DATA2GO: Data Story Telling on the Rise (tl’dr: Telling a story about how we connect about telling stories.) I recently enrolled in a course at the Knight Center’s Journalismcourses.org, “Data Exploration and Storytelling ( January 16 – February 26, 2017 )”. Why? As a composition teacher and as a writer, I find myself in need of the tools that help my readers understand data beyond text. In other words I need to become a better data […]

tellio on Returning from Kevin Hodgson’s blog posts about haiku I felt obliged to comment Poetry is the world already transformed. Glad you are finding the deep well of grace that poetry is. And that you have drunk from it, deeply. Here are some other drinking sources: A unique multigenre haiku by Scott Helmes Some haiku from the Japanese master, Issa. An essay on the haiku as ‘Western’ form (really eyeopening). I felt the form in this especially deep drink of […]
tellio on My first go at the #netnarr Daily Doodah Alchymystry. You control the pace of this narrative, the direction, and the volume. You can ‘reply’ to it. Or make your own. A simple ‘choose your own adventure’. For me, I took the word “shadow” as a narrative entire and looked for images on tumblr and Google Images that…fit. Let’s play! The second zeega below is one I screencast with my own pacing. Compare yours to mine.

tellio on Mike Caulfield on his blog Hapgood (or should we call him HapGoogle) shows us a “work outloud” on fact-checking and the unsung art of the crap detection. I will be using this example in my class next semester as well as creating a few of my own for the new year. I like to think of this as a re-telling of a very old story of the examined versus the unexamined life. Caulfield’s post is an extended paean to the […]
tellio on This is the tale of three networked narratives. I am jumping the gun a bit on Alan Levine and Mia Zamora’s online course, Elements of Networked Narrative (Spring 2017) by offering a trio of narratives to others should they wish to share. Imzy Job Descripto Lino.it I am broadcasting seed on the internet’s pastures and…..maybe these aren’t … Continue reading "Three Networked Narratives"
tellio on Here is THE narrative in the zeitgeist right now: fake news. We now live in the perfect oxymoron. News has become just another object to be manipulated for the sole and abiding purpose of gaining and gaming our attention. In essence, hackers (?–what do we call them, liars/propagandists/trolls) invent fakeries and get the crowd to dispose … Continue reading "Networked Narratololgy Using Lino"
tellio on Alan Levine has written a post that is equal parts manifesto, challenge, and request for proposals from all “potential collaborators”. I took the emphasis in between the quotes to be on “potential” collaborators, folks who are adept at find the potentials in various kinds of collaborative play. That made me want to be a potential … Continue reading "Networked Narrative: Challenge, RFP and Manifesto"
