the art of telling stories
combined with multimedia
shared, published, and
amplified with digital tools
a way to share learning

whatever media, is a powerful tool to
transmit knowledge, culture,
perspectives and points of view.

5. It is the act of telling our personal story of what we know and
understand from an event or topic that provides a
"sense-making" process
enabling our brains to organize a myriad of factoids while
also increasing “sticking power.”
