What
is Digital Storytelling?
Digital Storytelling refers to using digital media to aid in telling stories
of all types. On this site we're telling stories about Texas. We'll tell
you about some of the things that were going on way back when and show
you some photographs and artifacts that will help make sense of how today's
Texas emerged from its past.
What's
so digital about it?
With
a click, we'll pop around the museum floor, from one exhibit to another.
With a swipe, you'll be able to examine pictures and objects up close.
You can pull down text and read along, or you can listen, or both. Together
we'll tell the stories of people from all over the world—including
Texas—who came together to work or to brag or to dance and to make
Texas what it is today.
Is
this your first trip here?
