Try this one on. Jimmy Wales et al decides to spawn wikipedia, but under your premise, they must go out and find all the information. Same web engine, different concept. What do you call that… oh yes, Britannica.

But I am sure there is a hole in my position there and I yield splitting hairs. Let me go back to the top.

I researched more than 50 tools, wrote them up, created my own content in each, and AND tried to find other examples from these tool sites, which wasn’t always easy, because most of them are not really educational or even appropriate. I did what you said, went out and found examples, those would be the bullet points under each:

http://cogdogroo.wikispaces.com/StoryTools

So I get many emails, comments, tweets, saying what a great resource this is. But right there at the top of the page, I had put a request for people who use this resource to share what they create:

I have used each tool to produce an example of a Dominoe story and links are provided, where available, to examples by other people. Please share your own examples or thoughts in the discussion area of this wiki.

So my only reason for writing this was to re-iterate that request. I’ve done a lot of work on this project, yet you are suggesting, that it is still on me to go out and root around on the web to find more examples?

So toss one back, but I’ve made my point, perhaps weak and wobbly as it is, twice. I concede to the last comment standing ;-)

Sure you are. Different web engine, same concept. People come to your website, they read stuff.

This is a resource that clearly asks and provides a place for people who use that resource to share back with it. I am just curious as I have hundreds of responses of people saying what a great resource it is but only a trickle of sharebacks.

Oh well, whatever. I did the first round of “looking” to get a few examples.

They won’t come to you. You have to go to them.

This is the point of decision every blogger, every writer, faces at some point in his or her history: whether to find a way to go out and see the stories and write about them, or to wait for the stories to come in, and in the meantime to write only about him or her self.

I’ll drop the linked list into the discussion tab on the 50+ Ways wiki too.

You’ve created an excellent resource with scores of models for kids (and teachers) to build upon. I show your stuff off (with attribution) every chance I get. Thanks.
