Lovely, moving story, Alan! I love how you use your pictures–the mix of humor and drama coming through the tension between text and image. I will show this one to my students this fall when we move into Slideshare stories.

I am honored (blown away, really) that my experiment has inspired you to recast yours. And now that we can use audio on Slideshare, just think of the stories we can tell.

Looking forward to watching all fifty. And learning from your bold example.

Hi Alan,

We are looking forward to your visit to Sydney.

When you get two years, check out our blog and wiki and so on.

Would be keen to engage with you as to what you have planned when you hit the shores of this big not-so-dry continent ….

I’m keen to find out what you’ve got to say about imbedding the use of networked communication technologies including web 2.0 in organisations seeking “safe” innovation .

Is there such a thing ?

Looking forward to your presence amongst peers and colleagues.

I’ll let you know which is more work Andrew. At this point, neither are all so hot!

Sounds like a great idea to me. Why produce fifty stories when you can produce one story fifty times.

Alan, you are a madman. “50″ ways!?! How about this for an idea - remix the song first, make it “30 web 2.0 ways to tell a story (the cogdog mix)” and save your sanity. Naw, guess that doesn’t roll off the tongue quite as well. At least you didn’t pick Jay-Z’s “99 problems” as your theme song. Can’t wait to see the finished product. Cheers, Scott

I confess, I had tears in my eyes at the end. Coming on the heels of reading “Marley and Me”, I must really be going through the dog days of summer ;-). Beautiful, lyrical, and as always, your photography blows me away, she was and is beautiful.

That said, I’m “borrowing” your idea for my SmartMobs class with due credit to you as the originator of the idea of course :-). Although it’s a first year seminar class and the emphasis is on developing their critical thinking, research, and writing skills, the class theme is “new media” and it seems anachronistic to me if they did not undertake at least one “media” project. And what a fun way to promote visual and media literacy. Hmm, now how do I take this to my faculty is the next question.

Thanks for the shot in the head this Tuesday morn

Alan,
Hello! Haven’t seen the other versions of the story, but I think this Dominoe in slideshare has a rare, rare beauty.

I just read this morning that SlideShare now allows you to sync with audio. More info at http://www.slideshare.net/faqs/slidecast

But, you probably saw this already.
