Derek's Digital Story | Other Tulane Digital Stories
Recently, we've begun an exploration of digital storytelling at Tulane. It's a wonderfully expressive and accessible tool especially as practiced and taught by the Center for Digital Storytelling headed by Joe Lambert out of Berkeley. More after the jump...

Another great New Media Consortium summer conference has come and gone. This one was hosted by Princeton University and was attended by more than 500 new media and education technology professionals from around the country. Nearly 90 sessions were offered during the four days and Gina, Marie and I took in as many as we could. An abundance of "link-ful" goodness after the jump...

We wrapped production in Panajachel today! Spent the morning shooting more of the "job description" photos around town, including teacher and bricklayer. Around 10am, we returned to the hotel grounds with Tojil, Ix'Im'Nik'te and Ix'Kamey to shoot the final dialogues.

Today we went in search of butterflies. The nearby Hotel Atitlan maintains its own mariposario or butterfly habitat, along with a garden and nature preserve. After a short hike through town to grab lunch and feed the dogs of Panajachel (an activity deserving a blog entry all its own), we grabbed a tuk-tuk and rode over to the preserve.

Great news! Marie's recovery is nearly complete. She showed up for breakfast this morning feeling almost human. Quite a difference from yesterday. I attribute it to the restorative power of the soda cracker...

Things have been going too well, and in accordance with Murphy, we were due for a problem. Last night it came at us with a vengeance. Despite our best precautions, Marie ate something that disagreed with her. Violently.
