"When a friend suggested I take this class involving producing a short film on a computer, I immediately said it was beyond my ability….as a senior citizen! However, I got involved in spite of my misgivings. That was the best decision I could have made. The instructors and the environment they created made it possible for me, with limited skills at the computer, but many stories to tell to find a creative expression. It’s a life changing experience!”

“What lies behind us and what the future holds are small matters compared with what lies within us. Because of my experiences at the Digital Storytelling workshop with the superb staff and inspired colleagues, I discovered feelings and resources I never knew I possessed. After years in government, journalism and filmdom, I call my workshop days as unforgettably rewarding.”

“The implications of Digital Storytelling for ethnographic studies are enormous. Imagine a collection of digital stories regarding a political or environmental issue. Visualize an individual’s life history as a series of concise pithy digital vignettes What a mind expanding and life changing experience! My goal is to introduce this technology to other anthropologists as an ethnographic method and to use it myself in anthropological projects.”

“"I had been searching for a different way to motivate my 4th grade students
to write. I was impressed that THIS was the vehicle that would stimulate real discourse. When I attended a weeklong course in Digital Storytelling, I found out what a vehicle for expression it really was. It's not just for kids learning to write! It’s for your self. I highly recommend that you take one of the workshops and get started on your own digital story."
