Zak, Paul Why Your Brain Loves a Good Story, Oct 28, 2014 https://hr.berkeley.edu/sites/default/files/why_your_brain_loves_good_storytelling.pdf
Digital StoryTelling requires intention and meaning making. Understanding the essence of story and its ability to make meaning happen for all is at the heart of Digital StoryTelling. The media is not what is important...the story is!! “If you can harness imagination and the principles of a well-told story, then you get people rising to their feet amid thunderous applause instead of yawning and ignoring you.”
