There are as many stories of openness about ds106 (http://ds106.us), the open course on digital storytelling, as there are stars in the sky. But Jim Grom shares what may be the most unexpected outcome of a class- a web-based free form radio station that emerged from the community, and is now, as he says, "a […]
Vcasmo is one of the 50+ Web 2.0 Ways to Tell a Story– it offers a platform to synchronize powerpoint/presentations to video. A typical use is to have video of a speaker linked to their slides, and it works elegantly there. I decided to tale a video I shot of Bryan Alexander at his house […]
