Digital Storytelling TweetChat: Telling Your Origin Story

http://photos3.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/1/1/f/0/event_224104592.jpegTechSoup's 2013 Digital Storytelling Challenge (http://www.techsoup.org/community/community-initiatives/techsoup-digital-storytelling) is here! All April long, TechSoup is 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!

To help out the cause SFTech4Good (https://www.meetup.com/sfnetsquared/) will host a Twitterchat on Tuesday, April 16th. Our focus during the chat is telling your origin story.

Our guest during that hour will be Jay Golden (https://twitter.com/goldenone) of Wakingstar Story Consulting. (http://www.wakingstar.com/)

We'd love for anyone interested, whether you'll be doing the Digital Storytelling Challenge or not, to take part.
