Fwd: International Digital Storytelling Conference - Call for papers

Dear colleagues,

I'd like to share the call for papers to this year's International Digital Storytelling Conference. (Disclaimer: I'm on the committee).

Digital storytelling is a thriving set of practices in education and there may be people in your networks that would welcome a chance to showcase the work they are doing.

Best wishes
