My final answer was:
The same pill can kill or save them
Based on Ying’s Drawing:
This was a little game of Telestrations that a six of us from the course ETEC 540 did virtually. Telestrations is mix of the games Pictionary and Broken Telephone, where players take turns drawing and guessing phrases, objects, or actions. It was a great way to engage with others in playing with text, images, and hyperlinks. It was based off the hyperlinks module from the course.
The hyperlinks below allows you to see everyone’s blogs and how the game turned out. Please visit the hyperlinks in the order they are in to see how the game went.
- Deirdre’s initial drawing based on the original phrase that prompted the start of the game.
- Sandra’s guess based on Deirdre’s drawing
- Kirsten’s drawing based on Sandra’s guess
- Nathan’s guess based on Kirsten’s drawing
- Ying’s drawing based on Nathan’s guess
- The final guess based off Ying’s drawing (this page)
I was the last one out of the six of us to make the final guess. My guess was based off Ying’s drawing. It was interesting to see how much the meaning of each drawing the word/phrase was interpreted by different people. It seemed that the theme of medicine/drugs was a theme that stuck throughout though. You can see how through this activity, all our blogs were linked through a web of pages to create a path for this game. However, there is no set path that needs to be taken. You can see that with the drawings, it’s solely up to the next players interpretations to give their text clue based on it to the next player. That was where most of the changes were made – as the drawings were a lot more abstract.
This was a fun activity organized by Deirdre! It was a fun way to connect with others and also see how things can be interpreted so differently by people.
