In Wilber's Ch 3, page 48, the first link I went to was Diane Cordell's blog and noticed the FREADOM graphic right away (because it was Banned Book Week)- Banned books is something close to me and based on conversations I've overheard in class today, it's been apart of some of your lives as well. Cordell posts about different topics and the comments she receives about them. I found some of her posts interesting so I'll probably keep an eye on her down the road.
“One of the strangest things is the act of creation.
You are faced with a blank slate—a page, a canvas, a block of stone or wood, a silent musical instrument.
You then look inside yourself. You pull and tug and squeeze and fish around for slippery raw shapeless things that swim like fish made of cloud vapor and fill you with living clamor. You latch onto something. And you bring it forth out of your head like Zeus giving birth to Athena.
And as it comes out, it takes shape and tangible form.
It drips on the canvas, and slides through your pen, it springs forth and resonates into the musical strings, and slips along the edge of the sculptor’s tool onto the surface of the wood or marble.
You have given it cohesion. You have brought forth something ordered and beautiful out of nothing.
You have glimpsed the divine.” -Vera Nazarian, The Perpetual Calendar of Inspiration

(^just a quote I liked that she posted)
Next I searched Teen Ink "Magazine, website & books written by teens since 1989," where students can create accounts and post their work. I think this would be FANTASTIC to either get students involved in using in class, or even make them aware so that they can use it on their own. Without creating an account, I don't know if one can make a pen-name or an alias (if they do not want the world to know who they really are).
Before the readings for this week, I had never really read about Multimedia Storytelling. This is from PBS' website- an example project with objectives, standards, extension ideas, assessment recommendations, etc. I found it interesting because it's a new subject for me, so I'll have to keep reading.
