Last week I attended a Digital Storytelling Bootcamp for Museums. I was surrounded by some of my very favorite collegues as we were immersed in storymining techniques and digital media creation. It was like being locked in a toy store for three days…wireless, laptops, digital cameras, audio recorders, scanners, light kits, garageband, audacity and photoshop. But what really made the camp rich, was the focus on creating meaningful online experiences.
With experts like Tim Svenonius from SFMOMA and Joe Lambert from Center for Digital Storytelling leading the way, we were each inspired to develop a story that needed to be told from our museums.
