The powerful ‘power of story’ — from storycentral DIGITAL
Excerpt:
Robert McKee also has some theories on what constitutes ‘story’:
Story is about eternal, universal forms, not formulas.
Story is about archetypes, not stereotypes.
Story is about thoroughness, not shortcuts.
Story is about mastering the art, not secondguessing the marketplace.
Story is about respect, not disdain, for the audience.
Story is about originality, not duplication.

- “I dream of a type of learning in which students can connect via their own personal experiences or life. Too often, students do not have that connection. Transmedia has the ability to reach all types of learners but all kinds of children as well. Students will be able to make connections to themselves and to the world around them and this naturally will begin a dialogue based on a story that relates to their family and life experiences- giving each and every one of them a voice- inevitably leading to a higher level of engagement.”

(From Robert) This is a presentation I gave in Silicon Valley to a team exploring Augmented Reality (AR). The goal was to provide an overview of what transmedia was and then to suggest ways in which one might approach using AR as part of a transmedia experience.

Learning in a Participatory Culture: A Conversation About New Media and Education (Part Three) — from newmedialiteracies.org by Henry Jenkins
Sections/sub-topics include:
- So far, we have been talking about new media, but it is clear that they do not replace the old ones.
- Therefore we need to use multiple media.
- Can we think then that schools lose many of learning opportunities supported by new media?
- Maybe your idea of transmedia phenomenon may be a way to explore opportunities offered by the media. For example, teaching students how to write narrative texts when using the Harry Potter books, movies or video games.
- And what about social networks, a new widespread medium of communication among young people and also among many adults?
- What is the role that these networks can play in schools?
