“Digital Storytelling is the modern expression of the ancient art of storytelling. Digital stories derive their power by weaving images, music, narrative and voice together, thereby giving deep dimension and vivid color to characters, situations, experiences, and insights. Tell your story now digitally.”- Leslie Rule, Center for Digital Storytelling
Why multimedia? Online and digital platforms are at least as important as the traditional print or broadcast platforms.
What is Multimedia Storytelling? • A multimedia story is some combination of text, still photographs, video clips, audio, graphics and interactivity presented on a Web site in a nonlinear format in which the information in each medium is complementary, not redundant. • http://www.j-lab.org/cool_stuff/
What is blogging? "Blog" is an abbreviated version of "weblog," which is a term used to describe web sites that maintain an ongoing chronicle of information. A blog is a frequently updated, personal website featuring diary-type commentary and links to articles on other Web sites. Blogs range from the personal to the political, and can focus on one narrow subject or a whole range of subjects. Many blogs focus on a particular topic, such as web design, home staging, sports, or mobile technology. Some are more eclectic, presenting links to all types of other sites. And others are more like personal journals, presenting the author's daily life and thoughts.
Generally speaking (although there are exceptions), blogs tend to have a few things in common: • A main content area with articles listed chronologically, newest on top. Often, the articles are organized into categories. • An archive of older articles. • A way for people to leave comments about the articles. • A list of links to other related sites, sometimes called a "blogroll". • One or more "feeds" like RSS, Atom or RDF files.
A wiki = a pond. Can be deep, can be large, but you still see the boundaries. A blog = a river. You see things flowing by, but never really see the beginning or end
