[...] So for my experiment, I am creating another site for the StoryBox, and playing with releasing some media that is from inside the box (single photo and a slideshow) and other things like the mashup I blogged about recently. [...]

Hi Alan, GoNorth! is a pretty cool example of adventure learning. A research team travels around the arctic while classes back in Minnesota follow along in their classroom, interact, do problem based learning, and participate in the narrative. Not too many opportunities for collecting digital artifacts there in the Arctic, but adventure learning can be taken any where. Pirate box could be taken along for the ride, and be a way of interacting with a location and letting that are/ people tell a story, do this as an event… just some thoughts…

Thanks Mat (the photo came out blurry, sorry). I’d like to learn more about adventure learning!

What an interesting use of technology! You caught a photo of me trying to upload to your pirate box (wearing black shirt/dark tie). I am a graduate student at UT Austin and one of my classes is about adventure learning, which, among other things, tries to bring a distant locale to the student through different types of interactions and media. I love the pirate box because it could be a great way of digital trolling (the fishing kind of trolling, not the instigating arguments kind of trolling) and a unique way of gathering material from a location to share with students. Way cool! I’ll be sharing your blog with my class. Good luck with the project!
