In the first part of the workshop we’ll explore and discuss a range of examples of digital fiction, and in the second part of the workshop we’ll evaluate one example of Digital Fiction and its pedagogical teaching resource. Finally, we'll evaluate some great multimedia authoring tools that you can use in the classroom, and you'll have some time for DIY!
 * Digital Fiction Workshop**

Explore some of the digital fiction examples from the links below as highlighted in the slideshow. Choose one that interests you to respond to the following questions:
 * Part 1: Digital Fiction Overview**
 * 1) How are you positioned as a reader/writer?
 * 2) What affordances are represented in the text?
 * 3) What attributes are similar to “old” forms of literacies, and what might be considered “new”?


 * Part 2: Focussed Study of Digital Fiction with Pedagogical Lens**
 * Exploring [|Inanimate Alice]**
 * 1) Read through any two of the the four episodes.
 * 2) Discuss the accompanying pedagogical resource with one of your colleagues. In what ways might you incorporate the text into your own teaching, and which elements of the pedagogy resource could you adapt for your particular context? Lets share!
