Storytelling Saves the World

A new venture is on the horizon!  I have long been a podcast fan, given that I have a 25 minute commute to and from work.  Audiobooks and podcasts are the stuff of long drives, so when the opportunity to record a podcast presented itself - of course I signed on! 

Georgia Terlaje, who will henceforth be known as my partner in crime, has been a teacher for 31 years. We not only work together in Palm Springs Unified, but we also are fellow teacher consultants at the nonprofit organization, DIGICOM Learning. We've been promoting and supporting digital storytelling in the classroom for years, and now we get to do it together on air! Georgia is one of the most entertaining people I know. She's also multi-talented, as evidenced by her ability to author and record our podcast theme song. We recorded our first episode yesterday, and I'm so happy to share it here. 

Our podcast is called "Digital Storytelling Saves the World" and we've got a whole slew of incredible guests lined up for future episodes. In this first episode, we simply introduce ourselves to listeners, as well as talk about our digital storytelling journeys and where we hope to go with the show. 

As teachers, we can be islands unto ourselves and I think it's so important to connect with one another.  The support piece of digital storytelling often isn't available to teachers outside of our DIGICOM community, so we are hoping to provide that for teachers everywhere. I hope you enjoy our first episode!
