I'm wondering if we could make use of branch within class?
For instance could it help us build conversations between class? People sharing links?
cool stuff! yes let's invite all students and guest speakers! can you have a feed of this on the blog?
You can embed it I believe. Not sure if it supports tumblr or not. But we could always create one for class OR create one for each class?
so when we engage people in the class on branch...but they also have a computer with a hangout in each group, plus they (or some) document in Google Spreadsheets?
I think in some classes, where it fits. not every class. basically as a way to tweet out but also to show them how they can use something like this fo storytelling?
Think we need to sort out logistics for this. As it feels more likely it could be an interesting backchannel for discussion. Meaning that we assign two students to push conversation out.
can you see where I branched the discussion? there is a small icon to the right.
It be interesting to play with branching narratives as well. For instance I'm going to branch off right now.
there are some simple things missing from branch that would make it interesting for full on collaborative writing. two off the top of my head...
- tagging
- global navigation of branches
yes, and an overview of all related branches, to browse
