Jensen, 2009).\u00a0 The emerging trend of transmedia storytelling will continue to push the envelope even farther.\u00a0 Transmedia storytelling goes beyond the need to segment such skills as search and collaboration.\u00a0 It demands the ability to recognize, understand, and interact with narrative threads across multiple modalities, not just within them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Transmedia storytelling is the design and distribution of a story that is coordinated across multiple media channels.\u00a0 Each channel offers unique content, using the strengths of each medium to its best advantage to build a larger, richer story.\u00a0 Transmedia storytelling is intentionally designed for participation, drawing the audience in as co-creators to expand and develop the narratives.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Transmedia storytelling may not seem particularly different or profound until you consider that all information is translated into narrative in our meaning-making brains.\u00a0 We embody the stories we tell.\u00a0 Stories are how we assign causality, consciously process sensory input and imagery, and create associations so we can commit experience to memory.\u00a0 Stories are how we make sense of our selves, our lives, and our futures in the world around us (Polkinghorne, 1988).<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Transmedia Literacy: Expanding the Media Literacy Frontier &#8212;
