Content creation: live blogging and Storify

For week three of the quarter, we are experimenting with live blogging and Storify. The purpose of the live blogging exercise: to have the experience under your belts so that when you are tasked with ensuring that an event has live blogging, you know what the bloggers face. The purpose of the Storify exercise is to experiment with curation.

For your live blogging session, you can use a pre-recorded talk (like a TED talk) … you just can’t press the pause button!
