Beyond Words: The Craftsmanship of Digital Stories (Part II) Bernajean Porter, Digitales, Colorado CAS 236 Storytellers are now able to “envision” information using digital tools to make sense of, evaluate and share their deep understanding of historic, social and political topics. As we practice the craftsmanship of designing information through mixing colors, images, symbols, voice tones, music, sound and artful pacing, we are also striving to crystallize our perspectives into memorable digital stories that reveal meaning and understanding out of the data and complexity in our lives. This session will provide awareness and first steps of the craftsmanship of digital stories.
