Recently, a colleague asked me what ideas I might have for
interesting student projects that would take advantage of these
new, participatory media tools. I thought about it and started
to make a list. I came up with about 30 ideas but some of them
were a little weak…. so I whittled the list down to 20 of my
favorites. And here they are. With linked examples, where I had
one. I hope you like…(and a yellow jelly bean to anyone who can
name the song from the photo above). 1. 5-Photo Story Plan and
storyboard a five- (or ten?) image story. Take the photos with a
digital camera and post them to a Flickr group. Ask all members
of the group to comment on each others photos. Design a rubric
to guide the comments (in order to avoid platitudes or uniformed
praise) 2. Annotated Reading Start a conversation around an
article. Bookmark the article’s online location (using Diigo)
and insert comments/questions. Provide the group with your
bookmarked version (url) and then they add their
comments/questions. Example. 3. Wiki
