Transmedia in Schools and Libraries: Thoughts and Strategies from Tyler Weaver

Transmedia in Schools and Libraries: Thoughts and Strategies from Tyler Weaver | Transmedia: Storytelling for the Digital Age | Scoop.it

Peter Gutierrez:  "In the first part of my conversation with Tyler Weaver we discussed the many benefits of teaching with, and making, comics as well as the role of the school librarian when it comes to transmedia… here we get a bit more specific in terms of the issues involved."

The Digital Rocking Chair's insight:

In part 2 of an excellent set of articles, Tyler Weaver puts the controversies surrounding video games and comics into historical context; and chooses the dawn of Marvel's Universe as "the most perfect encapsulation of a shared storyworld out there".

5 Comics/Transmedia Trends to Watch in 2013

5 Comics/Transmedia Trends to Watch in 2013 | Transmedia: Storytelling for the Digital Age | Scoop.it

:  "As comics have become more powerful lords of the entertainment universe, we look at what’s in store, across platforms, for 2013."

The Digital Rocking Chair's insight:

After a stellar year in 2012, what's next for comics?  Hint: there's a lot of transmedia storytelling involved.

Bastante interesante. Me gusta ver estos cambios, en especial porque poco a poco se empiezan a ver las fusiones entre los estilos estadounidense y japonés (hell, yeah, me refiero a Avatar: La leyenda de Aang/Korra).

 

Personalmente, me encanta que los cómics empiecen a usar más esta plataforma. No que no lo hubieran hecho antes (Marvel luego te engancha para que descargues libremente el número 1 de todos sus cómics y luego ya te vende los demás) o que no hubieran existido plataformas para hacerlo (Comicrack!!!). 

Como sea, me parece que estas tendencias son perfectamente observables hoy día y que podemos ver a dónde hacen evolucionar al cómic sin grandes temores a que echen algo a perder (además de la línea editorial de DC, is that to say)

Teaching Transmedia with Comics: A Conversation with Tyler Weaver

Teaching Transmedia with Comics: A Conversation with Tyler Weaver | Transmedia: Storytelling for the Digital Age | Scoop.it

Peter Gutierrez:  "As a reference work on media/transmedia, both aesthetically and historically, as a how-to for student media-makers, or simply on the professional development shelf, so that teachers and librarians can mine it for ideas, [Tyler Weaver’s book is] a text that can fill many needs at once. I was delighted, then, when the author agreed to talk to me about this fascinating topic" …

The Digital Rocking Chair's insight:

This is a great article for transmedia practitioners and educators alike.  I particularly liked Tyler Weaver's analogy for transmedia storytelling, "It’s the idea of the chef: learn the basic tools, then an understanding of ingredients, then how to build flavors by combining those ingredients into an irresistible meal."

 Trigonis: "Tyler has recently unveiled to the world Whiz!Bam!Pow!, a transmedia product that unfolds parts of its story through a serialized novelette and a radio show, with even more looming on the horizon to further develop a story that brilliantly blends together the Golden Age of Comics with the pangs and pitfalls of our own Modern Age" ...
