Storytelling with Children

A national conversation on the Art of Storytelling with Children

Getting the Most out of your participation in this NING

Here are seven simple suggestions for getting the maximum benefit out of being a member of the Storytelling with Children NING.

1) Upload a picture into your profile.

An example of your art is fine – but I would suggest that you upload a picture of your smiling face because then you will run into more people on the street or at the national storytelling confurence or workshops and have great conversations about your art form. This will really help people who do not know you to meet you.

2) Post an example of your work or with the permission of the originating artist the work that you admire.

Music, singing or spoken word can be uploaded as an mp3 file to the music box on your page. Pictures can be uploaded as a blog post or in the photo section. Writing samples can be uploaded into the blog. Stories, poetry welcome.

3) Insert a link to your website into the text box on your page or your into your blog posts.

This will help google to understand the relationship between your art form and storytelling with children.

4) Understand and relax about any examples of your work you post.

Once any work is posted online it may wander far. So only post things your comfortable seeing on t-shirts from china. (yes it’s happened)

5) Start a group with in the NING.

Managing a sub group with in the community uses the NING to collect those people with more common interest then just storytelling with Children. We all have a particular tradition – revolution or inherit contradiction on how to do our art. There maybe other – whatever – in the NING try and get them together to form an alliance of writers, singers, musicians.


6) Write comments to other peoples examples of there work.

But the C in Community by practicing generous and real communication with artists who have given us examples of there work. Please be polite or I will kick you out of the NING.

7) Invite other artists to join the NING – raising our profile and our number of connections.

This is a storytelling with Children NING so invite people who are interested in that topic – This is a NING by association not exclusion.

*Just a note for the paranoid –
I Eric Wolf receive not one dime for my efforts and further receive the same benefit you receive by participating – I am committed to making this NING useful and inclusive – however it is 1) free so 2) I get to it when I can and 3) I derive the same benefit you can – I add links to my posts and hope you follow them.
