In my job it seems I am aware of so many things around tech but I don't get to go in depth in these things. This year, I have gotten a chance to work with faculty with digital storytelling. So when I heard that Alan Levine, http://cogdogblog.com/ , was coming to UWCSEA I made a point to be there.

I have been following Alan and his blog for some time and I do like his thinking so I knew I would get something out of his talk. It was a timely session for me because I was running the iMovie sessions for a teacher course the next week. Here are some of my new learnings and ideas from the session:
- Why is Video so hard to teach? Andrew Lin and the 5 Shot Redux
- Get in the habit of tagging and giving information on uploads - always add captions, notes to photos, map it, pop up note on the flickr images with hyperlinks
- Creative commons attribution helper - an extension you add to your browser but this led me to a another one - OpenAttribute . Easy to use and I am going to teach these guys all the time!!
- Look for great project ideas on his ds106 - A new area is The Daily Create which is a space for spontaneous creativity.
- Use http://thenounproject.com/ for some great images!
- Video Story problems - AWESOME!
- Orange Slices Video - No audio but powerful
- Kurt Vonnegut on the Shapes of Stories - Freytag pyramid for the standard formula for screenplay
- Paul Zak: Empathy, Neurochemistry and the Dramatic Arc - Distress and Empathy make a difference
- Nancy Duarte - Effective Speeches
- Lost flash drive - Remixed and Then Returned
- Many Eyes and GapMinder - Data Visualization
- Upping your image IQ - A wiki resource Alan made to help find visuals
