From DSC:
Though it looks like the latest round appears to be done, what caught my eye here were the following items:

Blending the physical w/ the virtual and the platform:

  • The experience must take place simultaneously in a physical space and one of the following:
    • Interactive Website
    • Mobile (smartphone, tablet device, etc.)
    • Another physical location
  • Other media formats and platforms are encouraged as well. Use your imagination!

Immersion

Digital storytelling

Creativity

New media literacies

Interactivity

Participation

Imagination

 


Questions:

  • How might these concepts be used in modern K-12 courses? In higher education?
  • How could our “textbooks” incorporate these concepts?
  • Which disciplines should be involved in these cross-disciplinary endeavors?
