Lance Weiler\u2019s must-read story about the future of storytelling<\/strong><\/a> — from kidscreen.com by Wendy Smolen<\/p>\n

Excerpt:<\/em><\/p>\n

As the founder of the Columbia University Digital Storytelling Lab, and its Director of Experiential Learning and Applied Creativity,\u00a0you\u2019ve convinced some major powers\u00a0that\u00a0work and learning begin\u00a0with a story.\u00a0What does that mean to those in the industry\u00a0who\u00a0make products for kids?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

My work at Columbia University explores how story, play and design can be harnessed to create collaborative work and learning environments. A key takeaway from our experiments so far is the value of a diversity of perspectives. We often strive to embrace a designing \u201cwith\u201d and \u201cfor\u201d methodology.\u00a0This is a fundamental shift for the entertainment industry but the reality is the audience has evolved into storytellers. They are now their own little media companies able to push-button publish for the world to see.<\/p>\n

As creation and consumption blend, story and code continue to collide.\u00a0 At Columbia we are exploring new forms and functions of storytelling. How can stories be used as a discovery method? How can they enable people to connect to the world around them? How can they become a utility that can solve everyday challenges?<\/p>\n

Story and Code have different development cycles and require different set of skills. So at Columbia and within my own work I often benefit from assembling a kind of 21st Century Writer\u2019s Room. My core team has expanded to include creative technologists, data researchers and systems designers. What connects the team is a series of stories that we use to ensure that everyone is on the same page and that the core vision and goals are communicated.<\/p>\n

…<\/p>\n

The Digital Storytelling Lab, therefore, is a place of speculation, of creativity, and of collaboration between students and faculty from across Columbia University. New stories are told here in new and unexpected ways.<\/p>\n
