We think that our projects are about making connections. Connecting children with books, connecting people with communities, making information freely available on-line for those communities of interest…revealing new things in new ways.
We do use technology, we love the web for its endless potential to reveal and strive to make access to that information and the connections as simple, yet as meaningful as possible.
We recently came across the Small Demons web site. This makes connections from within books, to all the elements of a story that you might think are important.
Small Demons sets out to index the content of books, but to also allow you to cross reference that content with other books, allowing you to build your own Storyboard. This short film gives you a flavour of the intellectual possibilities for your Storyboard…
As you would expect, the site is fully integrated with all the social media connections you will need to share your Storyboard. (If you have added a book, the site offers viewers the opportunity to buy it too, of course).
You can see a quickly created example of a Storyboard, using some of our interests with the keyword ‘community’ here.
Small Demons is a new way to explore texts, but it definitely captured our imagination.
