Digital Storytelling: A Technological Approach

Abstract

Throughout the book, Lambert challenges the reader to think about the questions "What shapes our stories?" and "How can we tell our stories in today's technological world?" An additional question to consider when reading the book is "What is the value of digital storytelling?" These questions address Lambert's central themes and he answers these questions throughout the book by sharing stories told by "common" individuals. Chapter 6 is devoted to the CDS workshop model, and although relevant to the topic, the redundancy to the author's proprietorship may limit the reader in seeing digital storytelling beyond this particular framework (see Alexander, 2011, and Ohler, 2013, for example, for media and education-oriented perspectives on digital storytelling).
