Hi everyone,
We've started our digital storytelling workshops last week using Open Source software. The first group was from a boys juvenile detention camp. They were cool. They really got into their projects and enjoyed themselves in the process. This week we have a mixed group of kids ranging from 8 to 12 years old. I will post up some examples soon.
I also wanted to share my digital story with you all. I created this story back in April when I went to the Digital Storytelling Center in Berkeley. I had the source files and I revised it a bit. You can check out my revised story at:

The original is posted on the Stories For Change website.

You can also check out the news report that was done on us last week. I'm in the first and lost shots.

Well that's it for me. Until next time...

Hey Naomi!
Great, so glad that you were able to rework your story, and that it's posted on the OTX site. Did Domingo post his, too?
And it's awesome that your program was in the news! How did they find out about OTX? Did you send out a press release? I'm curious, because I would love to better publicize some of our programs, and I'm sure other VISTAs would, too.
Hey Jessica,
Doming does have his story on the site. Here is the link if you want to check it out.

We were able to get on the news because Domingo's wife works for the news station. I guess it helps to have connections in the industry.
later,
Naomi
