@topgold #LITmw

We want to accomplish these #LITmw creative tasks before December 2013.

-- Through diligent use of activity streams, promote #clonmel and #LSAD-clonmel on List.ly, Flickr and Tumblr. Then submit a story with narrative value about time and place.

-- Develop a 3-minute radio script explaining “Essential Technology for College Education”.

-- Using 730 words and an activity stream, explain how you create original things.

-- Contribute to #octaver13, at least with writing and hopefully with your voice.

TASK 1.

#CLONMEL#LSAD-CLONMEL

First you share

-- On List.ly-- On Flickr-- On Tumblr

Then you spawn

-- Onto Facebook-- Onto Flipboard-- Onto syndicators

And you’re enshrined

-- In a showreel-- In iTunesU

The challenge: to display your creativity through media text.

@topgold #LITmw

START WITH A TOPIC SENTENCE.

-- “I open my curtains to the streets of Clonmel with freshly brewed tea in a warm kitchen.”

@topgold #LITmw

TASK 2.

#ICTEDU#EDCHATIE

First you research.

-- #ictedu @pamelaaobrien-- #edchatie @fboss-- #edtech

Then you listen and watch.

-- Your essential tech.-- Successful friends’ tech.

Answer key questions.

-- Why essential?-- If it broke?

The challenge: to develop a compelling radio script.

TASK 3.#CREATE

1. Think about your creative spaces.

2. What time of day is best for your creative output?

3. What do you hear, see, smell, taste, and feel?

4. Is there motion involved?

5. There’s value in recording yourself.
