Event Details
Indigenous storytelling is deeply rooted in places of meaning, in contrast to stories told in the “Hollywood” style that are disassociated from culturally meaningful places.The 3D immersive imagery of Google Earth allows us to better visualize our stories on a landscape when we come together in a virtual environment. Google Earth Web is a browser based version of Google Earth that is user friendly, creates easily controlled presentations that move through the virtual landscape, and can be shared online. In this session we will work with Joseph Erb to create five beat stories that better reflect storytelling traditions, and use Google Earth Web to virtually walk the land while telling our stories.
