"Listen deeply. Tell stories. This is the mantra of the Center for Digital Storytelling (CDS) in Berkeley, California, which since 1993 has worked with nearly 1,000 organizations around the world and trained more than 15,000 people in the art of digital storytelling. In this revised and updated edition of the CDS‘s popular guide to digital storytelling, co-founder Joe Lambert details the history and methods of digital storytelling practices. Using a '7 Steps' approach, Lambert helps storytellers identify the fundamentals of dynamic digital storytelling—from seeing the story to assembling and sharing it [...] A companion website brings the entire storytelling process to life."
