Visual Thinking Art: A Game!
The subject of games as portals to online group formation and collaboration has been popping up in my life in many places. I've been trying to spot good examples that are simple to adopt. Here's one. Visual Thinking Art: A Game!: "Want to play a Visual Thinking Game? All you need to play is a digital camera and some imagination. Here's the deal:
Tell a short story with four photos.
It doesn't have to be 'the truth.' For instance, say you took a photo of a truck outside a house, then some loose change you see on the ground, then a sign in a store window announcing Coke is on sale for 99 cents, and then the same house in the first picture with the truck gone, that might be a story. Get it? "

Nancy, you'll love the Flickr group that posts stories in 5 photos:

This is more relevant to the topic of visual storytelling that that of games, probably. People in the group are commenting on each others' posts and sometimes suggest improvements.
What I love about this group is the discussions that can emerge when people are starting to share the story they see when looking at the photos. The story that the author initally had can be very different from the one that other viewers have.
