John is working steadily on a large encompassing prezi which is designed to have room to incorporate the smaller prezis we do on various “learning today” subject/theme/topic.
IOW, whatever other prezi are being worked on can be included/incorporated into the larger prezi without being done over from scratch. It has an accommodating graphic structure and a narrative structure as well: kudos to Kris for injecting “narrative” into the forefront of our prezi toolbox conversation.
Sneak preview of narrative: “Rip” Van Winkle has been undergoing some experiments re “learning today”…and awakens among some very curious scientists…and “Rip” has his own questions re learning today.
Rip checks out his “Wikipedia” entry, ponders Bloom’s Taxonomy, explores learning motivation, time slices, DLP, SLC, Silos and Pizzas, gameification, edutainment, etc etc. (“Rip” traditionally is “motivationally challenged” so needs some “help” there…)
So, any “learning today” challenge can be part of Rip’s adventure…
Rip has a sense of humor and also a fair amount of confusion as he tries to understand his new environment. And Learns about Learning as he “goes along” in the prezi.
Will share prelim “Learning Today” prezi at end of the week using PSA sharing acct, so Kris can have even more productive dreams while off at the wedding. And we can then take up in depth collaboration after that happy event.
I like the way you are including the value propositions as part of a bigger narrative. Now, how to come up with a great plot that keeps agency leaders engaged in the narrative, and still shows what we think will motivate their clients.
I’ll ask my video game son what would keep him interested. Jay has played video games since we bought our first computer in the late 80’s. He is now 29 and still plays!
We may want to show our early stuff to more game savy young people. I know you want to keep our work “private”, but I really think we could benefit from some feedback. Maybe time to get some trusted family/friends on the website to help test our stuff.
Access to others will await the necessary work on security, passwords, logins, user status, and a list of other tech details on the to do list. And the manhours needed to offer tech support for their initial problems and bugs encountered.
But I’ll pass that request on to our tech support person while I work on the prezi. =^)
Haven’t seen him around here lately though.
We will at some point need a plan on who we are going to first involve, and what our policies are going to be for various kinds of access…which is more complicated for some users than others….so I’m glad you are making some mental notes on that for the future.
