Tags: Storytelling

I'm a journalist, currently with the Denver Post. I'm keenly interested in obituaries and life stories, and I see digital storytelling as a superlative way to capture a snapshot of an individual's life.

I maintain blogs.denverpost.com/coloradosudaze on an erratic basis; it's mostly links to odd stories in Colorado's regional newspapers.

I also frequently contribute to Dave Barry's blog, which resulted in the creation -- by jealous submitters whose links didn't make it to Dave's blog -- of noiamnotclairemartin.blogspot.com, which just thrills me to pieces! Someone hated me enough to make a blog about me! Although the blogger kinda got over it, and now just uses it as a regular blog.

I'm interested in digital story telling so people can use their own words to tell their stories about their lives, their communities, their hopes and dreams.  I work from a community development framework - and am interested particularly in people having a voice in how our local economies are built and how people can participate in cultural change rather than just be a passive audience to the global cultural machine! 

The Book

I am an artist, writer, teacher and student. I am currently working on a PhD in Digital Image Management and am very interested in the area of digital storytelling. I am also interested in the use of digital media in the classroom.
