Ken Robinson on Flourishing Voice: Sir Ken Robinson, Director: Jim Batt, Artist: Molly Crabapple As part of the continued practice in digital storytelling, in INTE 5340 MA ILT at CU Denver, I will consume a digital stories and offer critiques. Until now the course has focused on Jason Ohler’s assessment traits as criterions to assess stories. For the remainder of the critiques in the course, I will focus on “everyday remix practices” as described in the Lankshear and Knobel text New Literacies: Everyday Practices and Social Learning Third Ed by Colin Lankshear and Michele Knobel , on pages 127-140. Kind of Remix: Fanfiction short movies (if one must be chosen from L&K text) Three Literacy Dimensions: 1. From making movie trailers: “May involve knowing how to include written text in the remixed video to help convey new storyline.” 2.

Moving from literacy and ‘new literacies’ to D iscourse. In chapter one of New Literacies: Everyday Practices and Social Learning Ed by Colin Lankshear and Michele Knobel . I learned about literacy as a historical concept and a social practice. I also learned about new literacies as ‘paradigmatic’ and ‘ontological’ (Lankshear & Knobel, 2011, p. 27).

Sir Ken Robinson’s TED talk: Changing educational paradigms (animated by RSA animate) https://www.ted.com/talks/ken_robinson_changing_education_paradigms Assessment criteria: As part of authoring critiques of digital storytelling in INTE 5340 three criterions are selected from Jason Ohler’s assessment traits . Digital craftsmanship (Score 1-10: 10 Points) Mastery of media: use media is appropriate, well-crafted, and supports the story. Media application is free of errors. Comments: The use of white-board media creates a 'hand-made' aesthetic. The attention to detail and ability to draw and communicate ideas with this medium as an animation is incredible. The animation appears to be free of smudging or errors yet it doesn’t look overly reproduced digitally, or retouched. The evolution of the drawings takes shape into a larger picture of the lecture to support the story in a very creative fashion. Flow, organization, pacing (Score 1-10: 10 Points) Information pr...
