Rescooped by Monica S Mcfeeters from GOP & AUSTERITY SUPPORTERS VS THE PROGRESSION Of The REST OF US onto Technology in Art And Education |
Scoop.it!
Monica S Mcfeeters's insight:
I curated this earlier the day "Snow Fall" came out. Those of you that didn't read /view Snow Fall then need to take some time an experience this as so many of us already have done. The uses of this full blow media story telling feast in Education or just plain self development and life long learning will be amazing. Anyone interested in teaching anything should be aware of this multifaceted story telling and information sharing leap.

This post begins with a quote from President Obama: "“The quality of math and science teachers is the most important single factor influencing whether students will succeed or fail in science, technology, engineering and math.” From this point it veers in a different direction, noting that the issue is that teachers "are not given the freedom to support children in ways that will produce the scientists and innovators our country needs." If we look to our past (and our present) we will find that we are not listening to the advice that "our nation's historic inventors, scientists, and physicists (whom have shared) their advice and experiences." Read the article to learn the experiences of Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison, Richard Feyman, Michio Kaku (which includes a video where he explains "that exams are crushing curiousity out of the next generation..."), as well as individuals around today such as Aaron Iba and Jack Andraka (the student who at the age of 15 created a test for pancreatic cancer). Perhaps the question we need to ask is how do we change the system to support the necessary learning? Via Beth Dichter Delete the scoop?

If you haven't read the New York Times story "Snow Fall: The Avalanche at Tunnel Creek" you are totally missing a fab reading experience.
So what's this got to do with business storytelling? Because it shows that long-form storytelling is still popular despite all the wailing and moaning about people's short attentions spans destroying storytelling.
The proof is in the pudding -- 3.5 billion page views at the end of Dec. and probably more now.
It is a captivating story and I was immediately hooked reading it.
What can this mean for you? Well for one, don't get all twisted up about only creating short stories. A well-crafted story will always be engaging so don't worry about the length. Worry about crafting it well. You can always shorten it to fit a particular context later.
And second, if you are wanting to share your stories as part of your content strategy, let it rip. But take some lessons from "Snow Fall":
Think about how you can use long-form storytelling to your advantage. Now go read "Snow Fall" and settle in for a great story!
