Digital storytelling sounds very simple: Help people tell their own stories with simple digital production tools for video, images and audio. However, it takes significant experience to make the effort worthwhile for the storytellers in telling their stories successfully. Joe Lambert and his colleagues at the Center for Digital Storytelling have been working for more than ten years in this direction, and the book is full of their experience. General thoughts on the cultural value of show more storytelling blend with examples of successful digital stories, applications to different areas, suggestions for successful facilitation and lots of how-to knowledge on performing a digital storytelling workshop. To me, a real strength of the book is that much of the material is inspirational for further thought also in related fields, such as digital storytelling communities and other transformational efforts based on storytelling in general. show less
