A week or so ago I stumbled upon Storify, a super-simple tool for curating and archiving information that can be aggregated from social networks. With a few minutes of searching, dragging & dropping, users can create a crowd-sourced narrative document.

While playing with Storify, I’ve been contemplating classroom uses for student projects. After a conversation with Stew from Kickboard today, I thought it would be fun to create 2 historical documents that use digital artifacts to tell very different sides of the same event: US Secretary of State Arne Duncan’s Keynote at South by Southwest Education in Austin, TX.
