These are exercises for a Web 2.0 storytelling workshop held January 7, 2010. It was generously hosted by Kenyon College, with the support of Ohio Wesleyan University.
They are assigned to small groups, each of whom has a wiki page:
- Group One
- Group Two
- Group Three
- Group Four
- Group Five
- Group Six
- Group Seven
The exercises are broken down into platforms, and are as follows:
Wikis
The group that edits together writes together. But it's a good idea to have one person at a time serving as "scribe."
- Write about what storytelling isn't.
- Describe a setting. It may be fictional or real, or a blend of both.
- Grab the next group's page, and develop their setting.

VoiceThread
Create a VoiceThread account, if you don't already have one.
- Head to one of these 'threads and start comment on it: "Monastery in the Snow","Sign of Our Times", "Animal Pile", "Saturn and Rings, Post-Equinox" , "Korean War monument scene".
- Create your own 'thread. Upload an image of yours, then add a prompt or first part of a story.
Web video
- Check out Connect With I. How does it manage to present just enough information to keep the audience going?
- Create a Jaycut account. Upload three (3) images. Then create a voiceover to describe them. Add that to the mix.
