39:40 Discussion of our experience as annotators of images, videos, and text in a collection

We became a multi-modal reading group about the George Floyd protests on June 10, 2020, on Teachers Teaching Teachers 

The week before on TTT, Joe Dillon, @onewheeljoe, shared with us a game he plays with students, asking them to decide "Which media is most important?" On Monday, he presents three multi-modal sources about an important issue and he asks his students to decide--before the end of the week--which of them are most important.

We decided to play Joe's "game" with this Collection: George Floyd's Life Mattered https://nowcomment.com/blogs/204086

Together we annotated the images, videos, and texts in this collection — as readers and viewers.

Then we discussed which of the 15 or so resources in this collection might be the most important to share with our students.

We'll also mention at the end how to upload media and text about the George Floyd protests -- to complicate, deepen, or widen what has been collected so far.

To see what we are talking about with Joe Dillon's game "Which media is most important?"
