Engaging Teens at Museum…at a loss | Fruitful Thinking

https://fruitfulthinking.wordpress.com/2015/07/01/engaging-teens-at-museum-it-feels-like-a-hopeless-cause

Engaging Teens at Museum…at a loss. July 1, 2015. I was frustrated at their lack of engagement and seeming disinterestedness. What I don’t get is why the girls behaved almost the same way in the Getty that they did in the Norton Simon, even though they were given guidance and direction through the activities. I have some theories. Then again, however, I’m not sure if it’s better to force them to do the activities. That’s not really engagement either. So how do we help young adul...2 The two activities mo...

Digital Storytelling and Digital Humanities: Online Class. November 25, 2013. For this week’s class (online edition! We are assigned to write about the “connections, differences, or potential linkages between Digital Storytelling and Digital Humanities.” It should be noted that in my discussion I am referring to Joe Lambert’s version of digital storytelling unless otherwise noted.

Reflections on Digital Storytelling Project | Fruitful Thinking

https://fruitfulthinking.wordpress.com/2013/12/10/reflections-on-digital-storytelling-project

Reflections on Digital Storytelling Project. December 10, 2013. Wow…what an experience. First, I must say that that I actually found publishing something purely online very liberating and actually more beneficial to my readers. Being on a digital space allows so much more flexibility and allows me to do a lot of things I wouldn’t normally be able to do, like insert hyperlinks and slideshows. I found that these features added significantly to my project because I was able to. December 16, 2013 at 5:22 pm.

Reading vs Looking: Some Recent Thoughts about Museum Engagement | Fruitful Thinking

https://fruitfulthinking.wordpress.com/2015/04/10/some-recent-thoughts-about-museum-engagement

Reading vs Looking: Some Recent Thoughts about Museum Engagement. April 10, 2015. This last week, I was in New Orleans and I visited the Ogden Museum of Southern Art. My experience there brought up some thoughts about the role of text and reading in relation to visitor engagement. Worse still, I realized that I have been replacing. Looking at the art/object itself. With reading text labels when I go to museums. How much have I been. From the art or objects because I’m too focused on the text? My experien...

Digital Storytelling: Final Project Idea | Fruitful Thinking

https://fruitfulthinking.wordpress.com/2013/11/25/digital-storytelling-final-project-idea

Digital Storytelling: Final Project Idea. November 25, 2013. Using Lambert’s remarks as a jumping off point, I want to explore how social media. Actually be an effective way to tell digital stories. I disagree that we’ve lost “the art of conversational storytelling” and that things people post online are just incoherent jumbles of information. Furthermore, I think there are mechanisms within social media that allow for self-reflexivity, personal reflection, and sharing. November 26, 2013 at 5:50 pm.
