Apologies for the unexplained absence of late. But I do have a good excuse: I’ve been immersed (and I mean, immersed!) in Digital Storytelling for the last two weeks. Which is to say, I’ve been kind of off the planet.

Thanks to the Faculty of Creative Industries here at QUT, 7 postgrads and research staff were lucky enough to work with Daniel Meadows in a “training the trainers” digital storytelling workshop, which involved, in part, producing our own digital stories. The level of personal engagement that came with this experience was a bit of a surprise…a nice surprise, as it turned out in the end.

But even more than I was before doing the workshop, I am deeply interested in and excited about the possibilites of digital storytelling (i.e. as an enabling tool of…you guessed it, vernacular creativity).

But I’m probably still too caught up in the post-workshop emotive state to say anything useful about it yet.
