Hi All:
I just read a brief newspaper article and watched the online video about a university in Wales that is documenting the country's love for Cricket via digital storytelling. Just like how Americans care deeply about such sports as Football, Basketball, and Baseball, for the people of Wales, there is a deep and abiding love for the sport of Cricket. I liked this article because although I have primarily been addressing the educational use of digital storytelling, I wanted people to also see that any topic or subject that has deep personal meaning to someone can be converted into a digital storytelling format.
Please see the article and video link below. ~Aja

Aja,
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the video. Being able to watch the video really brings home the notion of telling stories via the digital storytelling format. In thinking about technology and posting all of these stories etc. on the internet for people to view, I'm wondering if, at some point in the near future, we'll just have too much "stuff" out there to find what we're specifically looking for...just a thought!
I think stories are also a way people can connect ideas to themselves- good to know there are examples out there of how this can work for others, too!
ReplyDeleteHi Sue:
ReplyDeleteI think that with the continual influx of information to the World Wide Web, the development of Web databases and indexes will eventually occur to address the systemic and increasing need for information organization and structure on the Web.

Hi Leigh:
ReplyDeleteI agree. Stories are a great medium for personal reflection and examination.
