Whether you use Snapchat, Instagram, Twitter, or Wordpress, how you share your stories is just as important as what you share. This workshop offers a brief introduction into the theory and practices behind digital storytelling and provides participants with the opportunity to build their own story, using Twine, open source, interactive storytelling software. Via examples and hands-on instruction, participants will leave with a better understanding of digital storytelling as a genre and a short poem of their own to publish to the web.
This workshop will be led by Dr. David Gaertner, Assistant Professor (First Nations & Indigenous Studies Program, UBC) and will feature research presentations by Dr. Gaertner and Simone Hausknecht (Education, SFU). The workshop will be held at SFU’s downtown Harbour Centre campus, and is open to graduate students, faculty, and staff at SFU, UVic, and UBC. Participation is free, but registration is required.
