I’m not sure that Twine is going to work. It’s a straightforward, linear story I want to ‘write’. I’m ignoring the screaming in my head which is telling me ‘PowerPoint, just use PowerPoint’. I can’t *shudder*.

It’s interesting to think that this course has, itself, become another digital strand which is woven into the complexity of the quotidien. I appreciate how the digital media we use offers us slivers of insights into others’ lives. Seeing James’ son in the background of a weekly video introduction, watching Daniel drum in his room, and hearing about Eli’s new kitchen on Twitter: these glimpses into the ‘real’ help, I think, to develop our community of inquiry.
