Berkeley Language Center

Panel:
Joe Lambert, Executive Director of the Center for Digital Storytelling, San Francisco
will discuss the genesis of digital storytelling, showing how its practices have evolved, and describe current activities at the Center for Digital Storytelling.

Heather Pleasants, Assistant Professor, Program in Educational Research, University of Alabama
will present research on how digital storytelling relates to issues of identity, and how digital storytelling has been used to support language and literacy development in community contexts.

Mark Even Nelson, Assistant Professor, National Institute of Education, Singapore
will offer an international perspective, analyzing the multimedia creation processes of a group of Japanese undergraduate EFL students. He suggests that new-media multimodal authorship may engender conventionalized and iconic forms of representation and self-presentation over more inventive and idiosyncratic forms.
