We have always been storytelling creatures

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…

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…

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)

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
