Stories were once the primary medium for sharing knowledge and culture. Stories captivate our senses and excite our imagination. Today’s digital technologies allow us to bring the medium back into prominence by allowing media convergence, social interaction and audience (learner) involvement in the story.

Join this session to explore technologies, strategies and resources for story creation, student interaction and games in education.

Start with definitions of terms (“what is it”; “where is it”; “how to I get it/use it/tweak it”), then list some of the primary categories of OSS available, with examples of the best (and how to judge OSS). Work on a task-based matrix of what OSS would be good for what purpose, and why (or why not). Have many examples of OSS ready to “play with”. Perhaps a session on installation / configuration / modification / administration) with some quick-to-install LAMP OSS. (I have a spare linux server accessible and available for use).
