RJ, This is a HUGE set of questions that are incredibly important. We can't answer them. Or at least not right now.

Sharron, Maybe I'm still not making myself clear. The tools are totally NOT the focus of the work we do. The story is.

We agree with you about IPR issues. They should be heeded. In our workshops, we let people decide how they'd like to adhere to those standards.

Sharron, Thanks for posting this. Of course, our way is just one way of doing this work. We've done work with all sorts of people with all sorts of foci and abilities, and we support and welcome variations to our methodology and curriculum. Thanks for pointing us to some great examples! -Daniel

Lauren, Welcome. We've been discussing this on another post. DIGITAL STORYTELLING: What does the center do and why tell stories? Please click on that and see if some of those suggestions help. Also please look through some of the other main posts and read our digital storytelling cookbook that's linked to from other posts as well. Thanks! Daniel
