This document outlines Richard C. Close's presentation on creating digital stories and using the internet to share personal narratives. It discusses how digital storytelling is an old tradition that can be honored through new technologies. The presentation teaches participants how to structure their own digital story by beginning with an introduction, discussing their background and challenges, how they overcame obstacles, who helped them, what they learned, and their current situation. The goal is to encourage African youth to share their stories online to build community and redefine perceptions of Africa.
