Digital Storytelling

“Digital Storytelling is the modern expression of the ancient art of storytelling. Throughout history, storytelling has been used to share knowledge, wisdom, and values. Stories have taken many different forms. Stories have been adapted to each successive medium that has emerged, from the circle of the campfire to the silver screen, and now the computer screen.”

About

What People Said

Each presenter was highly knowledgable about each program and the specific examples in various disciplines helped tremendously.

I didn't realize I was going to see as well as try six different programs. Really impressive for 3-hours. Very valuable to share the pros and cons. 

Nice balance of presenting and hands-on work. Great to involve undergrads - and they were both very poised.
