Assignment 3:

Part A: Readings

• Tim O’Reilly’s “What is Web 2.0?”
• Bryan Alexander’s Web 2.0 Storytelling

• Seven Things You Should Know about Creative Commons

* Share (a.k.a. blog) your initial thoughts about the above readings and their relationship to one another (tag: web20readings) and prepare to discuss in class (if applicable) and online in post comments of your classmates—so you best have setup aggregation by this point!

Part B: Playing

After you have read and consider the above essays, distill a few key points and use one of the well over 50+ tools from Alan Levine‘s “50 Web 2.0 Ways to Tell a Digital Story” to try and communicate those ideas in an experimental way using a Web 2.0 tool. Make sure the tool you use lets you embed the project in your blog.
