Being There - An experiment and message

I'm preparing to launch the VCU, CTE Digital Storytelling Program for Fall 2013. This is an experiment with Animoto, to see what one might be able to do within a 30 second limitation. Challenge students to reflect on an issue and distill their story through the use of powerful (and freely available) digital media.

This example also allows me to express my my feelings after visiting Ireland this summer. Being there, (wherever "there" is), truly changes your perception of place, people, time, culture and much more. Go, experience, reflect... and tell your stories.
