** ... Some "rules of thumb" we've stumbled upon ...**

• leave digital footprints

• audience matters; and it ain't just the two of youse talkin'

• share everything you learn … and do learning; process matters

• embrace risk, vulnerability vis a vis learning. Sharing what you don't know grows what you do know

• learning is a conversation; it's up to you to start that discussion

• be a selfish learner: give away everything you got!

Our conversation sidetracked a bit today. In all the best ways. Lots of students are making a meaningful change in their worlds. We also shared this video, made by a 13 year old girl in the UK.

 shared by  Neil Winton It's really important that you know that this was produced by one of my S2 pupils (aged 13) as a response to a task I set as homework. The task was "What is beauty?" (Details here: @http://wp.me/pZAQ-1f ) This is a first draft/edit and will need a few fixes... But I was so impressed with it that I wanted to share it straight away! media type="custom" key="12518740" align="center"

Keep in mind the rules of thumb shared above.

If you'd like a little more direction you can follow this suggested outline but making your own would probably be a little more awesome.

• My earliest memory of something I learned. (What was it? How did you feel? Who was there?) • Something I tried so hard to learn, but it just wouldn't stick. (Why were you trying to learn that? What made it so hard? Why do you still remember the experience?) • Something you learned that made you feel great! (Why did you care about this? What made it "click" for you? Have you paid it forward?) • Share something you wish you could learn but haven't yet. Dream big. (How would your life be different for knowing this thing? How would it touch other people?)

** ... The Mechanics** • Use only 4 slides. Full screen images. Add a 5th slide only to list sources for the images used. • You can have a little text, a few words, on each slide. No words is better. You can use PowerPoint, Keynote or Google Docs to create your slide deck. • You will narrate your story. 15 sec/slide = 1 minute of audio recording. Record & download your audio as an mp3 file at vocaroo.com • Export your slides as a pdf file and upload them to slideshare.net • Create a slidecast. Upload your mp3 file and sync the slides to your audio. (We'll show you how.) • You've just shared a digital story. That's brilliant. There are more than 50 ways to tell a story.

Learn in public. Rinse, wash, repeat.

We'll see you again **5 March 2012**. ||
