An Art for Our Times,
By T.B. Ireland (Cincinnati, OH) - See all my reviews
This review is from: DigiTales: The Art of Telling Digital Stories (Paperback)
At every turn, it seems that technology permeates our lives, challenging long-standing social traditions at every turn. Bernajean Porter has created a text and guide to successfully meld technology with the time-honored cultural tradition of story-telling. The text is clearly written and process steps are clearly described for a marriage of technology with this ancient art that both teaches timeless truths and builds competency in technology as a tool to enhance our lives. Digital story-telling is the long-awaited salve for our times - a way to capture truths that are critical to our progress as a culture and to bring generations together with technology's tools. Every family and community should have this book and Ms. Porter's work as their guide.
