sound tracks in a digital environment.

told each other stories, now ‘young or old’
we can do it with computers. We call this
Digital Storytelling and it’s made possible
by the new tools of media production.

have been changed several
times since then.'

33. “Why the brain loves stories
… as social creatures who regularly affiliate with strangers, stories
are an effective way to transmit important information and
values from one individual or community to the next. Stories that
are personal and emotionally compelling engage more of the
brain, and thus are better remembered, than simply stating a set
of facts.

36. “
“Would you tell me, please, which way I ought
to go from here?”
“That depends a good deal on where you want to
get to,” said the Cat.
“I don’t much care where–” said Alice.
“Then it doesn’t matter which way you go,” said
the Cat.
“–so long as I get SOMEWHERE,” Alice added
as an explanation.
“Oh, you’re sure to do that,” said the Cat, “if
you only walk long enough.
