Students

Online storytelling

EmeraldSC Leave a comment

I am looking at the way students are engaging with stories and storytelling in the online environment.

I will list sites, games and digital media that I have come across.  If you are familiar with any of these, please leave a comment  this medium, and other online story related content you are involved with.

Some sites I have heard about:

Telltale games – The walking dead

  • Based on the comics, tv show by Robert Kirkman.

 

I would love to hear:

  • What mediums you engage with
  • In what way you engage: reading, writing, game playing
  • Who you think would also enjoy this medium

Thanks!

Mrs. Ferguson

 

 

Evaluating a website

EmeraldSC Leave a comment

Short check list for evaluating a website:

Accuracy Does your page list the author and institution that published the page and provide a way of contacting him/her?
Authority Does your page list the authors’ credentials and is the domain a preferred domain for example .edu, .gov, .org, or .net?
Objectivity. Does your page provide accurate information with limited advertising and is it objective (not biased, not favouring a point of view) in presenting the information?
Currency Is your page current and updated regularly (as stated on the page) and the links (if any) are also up-to-date?
Coverage Can you view the information properly–not limited to fees, browser technology, or software requirement?

If you can tick off all of the above criteria…your Web page is of value to your research!
