Podcast: Joe Lambert Interview
As you likely know by now, Joe Lambert, the Co-Founder and Executive Director of the Center for Digital Storytelling, has agreed to be one of the keynote speakers at the upcoming SITE conference. Joe graciously spent some time with me recently in an interview discussing his upcoming keynote and a number of other issues related to digital storytelling. You can listen to a podcast of the interview by clicking here. If you have a chance to listen to the podcast, I think you'll agree that we're in for a treat when Joe addresses us at SITE

Mike,
Great interview. Joe will be wonderful at SITE.
It is also amazing that we have the technology now to perform such a bi-coastal interview and create the podcast. I just love these new technologies. See you at SITE.

This year I cannot get to SITE because I have chosen to run away and focus on the writing of a book on technology and change in the most southern university in the world: the beautiful University of Otago here in South Island, New Zealand.
So this Digital Storytelling Blog is a really wonderful link with SITE’06 for me, as a past president and as a member of both the International Committee and the Distance Education Committee. Last year at SITE the International Committee decided to add the dimension of international studying, including study abroad under the leadership of Roger Carlsen and Sally Beisser (see international introduction of the SITE 2006 proceedings).
That gives me the excuse to share with you a super digital story and related web site International Leadership for Educational Technology in which you can find stories of our students’ experiences including Rex Heer’s digital story Mind the Gap of his visit to our London Academy with his architect wife. See http://www.public.iastate.edu/%7Erex/London/londongaps.html Lara in the SITE’06 Playground can tell you more.
I hope that this Blog will be followed by more led by SITE’s committees before SITE’07. In that way we’ll be able to continue to involve our colleagues in SITE’s communities of practice.
As we do it let’s celebrate the gaps we find and help everyone to learn from them, as Rex has done and also led others to richer perspectives too.

I enjoyed several comments Joe made in the interview particularly. His comment about working with the "generation of the screen" but using the tools of television to end the era of television was compelling. I think the end of the one-way broadcasting era and the dawn of the interactive web 2.0 era is quite exciting. Digital storytelling has a huge role to play in the ways we will communicate with each other around the globe in the months and years to come.
I also really enjoyed the discussion about the important partnership that CDS and Colleges of Education (as well as other departments of academe) need to play with regard to the goal of advancing literacy, as well as permitting more voices to express themselves and be heard by a wide audience.
Joe's wrap up comment about the juxtaposition of NASA and Disney was also thought provoking. We should definitely be striving to employ technologies to make the world a more humane and understanding place. Digital storytelling has a powerful role to play in that process.
Thank you so much for putting this up as a podcast, I'm traveling and have a lot of 'down' time driving and riding.....I'll listen and get back during my next coffee shop stop!
