We are using the word "story" in a general sense; it may be a deeply personal one of the digital storytelling variety, or it may be a tale of a travel trip, or a simple multimedia presentation.
As the phrase suggests, it is the telling of stories using Web 2.0 tools, technologies, and strategies. Since the name is fairly recent (and not yet widely used), it may not bear out as the best term for this trend. Another name may emerge, one better suited to describing this narrative domain. However, the term seems to have met with quiet acknowledgment to date, so it may serve as a useful one going forward.
Texas State faculty that are TRACS users provide lessons learned and tips for you. They also share their innovative ways of using the system. Their ideas can save you time and effort, and offer new tools to strengthen your teaching.
Our primary source of knowledge for this workshop is your stories about digital identity. Not your academic writings, or well-observed insights: those, we hope, will come later. First, we're asking you to contribute a small story in which you are the main charecter (or at least a first-hand witness), and which you believe illuminates an interesting aspect, or dilemma, of digital identity.
