A request to share a true story based on Internet-sharing from Alan Levine

____________________________________________
If you are a South African teacher reading this we would like to tell you about a writing opportunity and a free online writing course that is coming up with SchoolNetSA  as part of the amazing African Storybook project and website that is being developed for Africa. Our 30 days of writing posts will lead up to giving more information about this. WATCH THIS SPACE!

Alan Levine is someone I have come to appreciate when it comes to writing ideas - in fact I would call him a digital writing guru! His two wikis, Cogdogroo (found at http://cogdogroo.wikispaces.com) and 50+ Web2 ways to tell a story found at http://50ways.wikispaces.com/  give loads of wonderful ideas for writing. 

Purely by chance I came across this video of his on YouTube made in January 2013 asking people to… (he can say it better than I can) ...“Yes, it is another call for what I call "True Stories of Open Sharing" - examples of people's experiences of unexpected outcomes when they share something openly online. I will be building a new collection at  http://cogdogblog.com/stuff/truestori... - and if you have one to share, either make it a video response here or submit a URL for a video to http://bit.ly/truestories13.”

If you go to Alan’s blog http://stories.cogdogblog.com/ you’ll find a collection of these stories to listen to.
