I saved my quote as a picture file and embeded it here:
I chose this quote, because it shows that his main concern is for the kids he is teaching, and how to allow them to best understand what he is teaching. He understands that not everystudent understands techknowlogy. He understands that some students aren't as open as other students. He also understands that it's his job to help them become stronger in all their problem areas; helping them tell stories before telling digital stories, or helping them learn to walk before they run.
I also found it interesting the he went on to describe the story mapping process in similer terms to those we use in Theatre and Storytelling, when analysiing a script or story.
I found another website that is devoted to digital storytelling as their webstie says: "Digital Storyteller is being developed as an initiative within the Center for Technology & Teacher Education in the Curry School of Education at the University of Virginia. Center faculty members and graduate fellows identify and explore innovative digital technologies.
Digital Storyteller is a member of a family of web based tools that also includes PrimaryAccess (designed for history teaching). Both projects are intended to serve as catalysts in use of effective technology-based tools in the K-12 classroom. Our partners in these endeavors include public schools, local public television stations, the Virginia Center for Digital History, StageTools, and other non-profit and commercial organizations."
