This week, I want to showcase two innovative projects which seek to explore the intersections between transmedia storytelling, participatory culture, and education -- Robot Heart Stories and Inanimate Alice.

Robot Heart Stories: Experimental learning project that challenges two underprivileged classrooms a country apart to help a "lost robot" home.  The experiment connects technology, language skills, different cultures, and basically all subjects (math, reading, science, writing) in a fun game that is placing learning directly into the hands of all students.  

Inanimate Alice: Interactive episodes that combine text, sound, and images to tell the story of a young girl named Alice.  

Points out transmedia has long been property of commercial franchises aimed at young people, but questions the time lapse that occurs before society explored the implications of transmedia for education
