//Inanimate Alice' multimodality format (images, sounds, text, interaction) enables students to see storytelling in a new, multi-sensory light. 'Inanimate Alice' is a new media fiction that allows students to develop multiple literacies (literary, cinematic, artistic, etc.) in combination with the highly collaborative and participatory nature of the online environment.// I am really excited about this challenging and innovative activity, I hope you will be too. We have so many resources available to us for representing and communicating ideas, information, experiences and ideas. This extension activity requires you to use the skills that you have and learn new, ones in order to be successful. You will need to interact with the online story to be able to progress through the journey. Along the way I will be asking you to collaboratively answer questions using ICT tools. This may mean adding comments to this section of the wiki, creating wordles, using wall wisher and heaps of other online tools. However the main purpose of this reading extension is to think about what is happening in the story. You will need to be creative and be able to express your ideas clearly to others. Inanimate Alice goes beyond simply understanding information and main ideas, it requires you to interpret a wide range of different language, symbols and text and also to be able to analyse and synthesise new ideas. Have fun - remember this is about exploring, challenging your self and helping others in your group. Love Mrs C || DIGITAL LITERACY ...
