The Podcast: Telling Stories with Technology

March 16th, 2007 · 5 Comments

    This podcast, a follow up from the other day, is about further thoughts on how we plan to teach digital storytelling at my school in the next several weeks.  If you want to listen to my thinking on how and why to teach digital stories, this is the podcast for you.  For links to resources, I’ll refer you back to the notes from the last podcast.

    HI Bud,
    I am loving bloglines! I have been listening,reading and then bringing your posts to our blog, Using Technology to Tell Stories. I hope that’s okay? Have you been checking in there as well?
    I like your thinking for this project. I’m figuring that you know the work of Center for Digital Storytelling. Their approach to creating the piece has been used by many other people.
    I like this podcast approach for the creation of the story, the story and then reflection through interview questions.
    Is there any writing in your process? All oral? Anyway to revise a piece?
    I think it’s cool too, the way you are creating your own podcasts. The background noise though, is a bit distracting but you’re in your car. Good way to use your time. I’m ready to create my podcasts. I have been on a radio show recently with a friend and I LOVED it!
    So at this point you are keeping this as a podcasting project without visuals, yes?
    Interesting. I have to think that we inspired the name you came up with for your project. It was actually Kevin who created our blog name. My first choice was not as interesting, DS REvisited just doesn’t have the same pizzazz.
    Keep your thoughts coming at us.
    Bonnie

    Hey Bud,

    Great podcast. I don’t know if I have told you, but I love This American Life as well. Those videos are priceless. Thanks for sharing your lesson. You helped my storytelling a great deal. I even think I’m going to show that video to my photography students. We’ve been speaking a lot about the stories in the photos that they take. I wonder if I can find a connection there?

    Thanks again for challenging me.

    I also agree with Miguel, keep podcasting. You’re great at it.

    Cheers, – Alex

    Hey Bud, Thank you for sharing your knowledge, the podcasts are great. I am looking to start a program to share teaching stories among faculty using podcasting at the university I work at. The question I have, is once you create these podcasts, are you storing them within a searchable database? Is so, what methods are you using to achieve easy, efficient access to podcast stories? Thanks for your time!

    Emma,

    Thanks for the kind words. I’m using our school’s blogging engine to store the podcasts, so they’re searchable via Google or the site itself. No databases, though. You could certainly create links lists or databases to help browsing easier, though, just as you might create a resource page on a website.
    Hope this info is helpful. Would be happy to elaborate if you’d like.
