Family+Story+Telling

=Telling Family Stories = Passing down family stories has always been an important part of the social and cultural heritage of humans. It's been a way to share and connect with our past and our present. This continues to be true but now, with the wonderful array online tools available, these family stories are a lively way to share our history, our ideas and our dreams and give us a creative means of expression. But just as important... IT'S FUN!

The following links provide a series of presentation materials which can be used to both learn and train others in some sample methods of digital storytelling. Feel free to let us know if you want us to add any other web tools to our portfolio of training materials.
