Digital Storytelling?

I've been lucky to be able to learn from the folks at the Center For Digital Storytelling.


In brief, digital storytelling is creating a short personal narrative, sharing and helping improve the story in a story circle, and adding a voice over, soundtrack, and images in a movie making program.

Digital stories are cool, because the storyteller's voice is literally heard in the story. Plus, each is unique as the author chooses sound and images to go with the text, or script.

It's not that different from storytelling around a fire, at the local watering hole, or anywhere else. Except it can be preserved and shared in a new way.

Here's the digital storytelling wiki I've been working on.

Poet Muriel Rukeyser said "Say it! Say it! The universe is made up of stories, not atoms." Amen.
