TechSoup's 2013 Digital Storytelling Challenge is here! All April long, we're putting on events to sharpen your digital storytelling skills. Then, you submit your own short video (up to 90-seconds) or five-image slide show to our challenge to win prizes!
As part of this year's fun, we're taking our #TSDIGS tweet chat around the globe. Not quite a 24-hour digital storytelling party, but as close as we can get!
With one-hour chats in Manchester, Vancouver, Toronto, Beirut, San Francisco, Honolulu, Paris, Istanbul, and Peterborough, you're bound to find one in your own time zone to join. Highlights from the day will be captured and shared with everyone.
Check out the timeline and topics below and check back as we continue to update it!
