Changing social technologies have impacted the ways in which we create and express ideas. A variety of available feedback mechanisms means that the creation of information is often a collaborative and continually evolving process.

For this challenge you will travel to Speaker’s Corner in London to express your ideas, and you will consider your role as both a consumer and producer of information.

Reflect on what you wrote about and learned in the three quests within this challenge. What insights did you gain about the kinds of feedback mechanisms available today and the relationship between being a consumer and producer of information?

Consider how technologies and information formats impact the way we tell stories and communicate ideas. Think about how you might express an idea and create something in collaboration with others using some of today’s social technologies.

So far you’ve had the chance to travel to Speaker’s Corner in London to express your ideas, and you have considered your role as both consumer and producer of information.

To complete this final challenge, select one of the following two options.

Option #1: Write a paragraph that describes a plan for a collaborative creation based on an issue you care about (perhaps the same issue you discussed at Speaker’s Corner). Describe the form of technology used to express your idea and how you will collaborate with others to create it. Write about how the collaborative process might impact the final creative product.

Option #2: Create something! Because this is the challenge for Collaborative Creation, you will need to work with others, either in person or online, and create a short project using one of the following formats (or another resource):

1. PowerPoint Presentation (uploaded to this space or linked via SlideShare)

2. Wordle graphic

3. Animoto video

4. Prezi animated presentation

5. Storybird illustrated story

6. or a different resource identified by you to express a collaborative idea.
