Gardner talked about the affordances of digital media as well as the possible threat they pose to a balanced education.
Gardner explains how the digital age is affecting the conception of “good work”

Getting a well-rounded education
is a
documentary oral history project that records stories
and memories told about specific geographic locations
In each of
these locations we install a [murmur] sign with a telephone number on it
that anyone can call with a mobile phone to listen to that story while
standing in that exact spot
The stories we record range from personal recollections to more
"historic" stories, or sometimes both
Digital storytelling meets history and community. This could be a future cross curricula project - history, writing, physical arts project for the campus.
