From a blogpost at Design of Knowledge: I think that Bill Brantley is right!
Storytelling is a great way to teach, and WEB2.0 tools are a great way to collaborate.
The two together could indeed spark some interesting new ways of doing things?
Because, on lots of occasions, we see stories happening, but we lack the time to "freeze" them (and then, a no-nonsense camera like this one or one of these can do miracles in capturing what happens at that very moment).
On storytelling: check point 7 of this post:
7) Know why--and how--good stories work.
Consider the learner to be on a kind of hero's journey. If Frodo is your student, and you're Gandalf... learn as much as you can about storytelling and entertainment. Learn what screenwriters and novelists learn. Know what "show don't tell" really means, and understand how to apply it to learning.
Humans spent thousands upon thousands of years developing/evolving the ability to learn through stories. Our brains are tuned for it. Our brains are not tuned for sitting in a classroom listening passively to a lecture of facts, or reading pages of text facts. Somehow we manage to learn in spite of the poor learning delivery most of us get in traditional schools and training programs (and books).
