Here's an interview from Seth Kahan with John Seely Brown, Chief Scientist of Xerox Corporation and author of Growing Up Digital. It's been up since the middle of April, but I think that Brown's thoughts on the importance of storytelling for communicating ideas and use in learning will be of interest to many Kairosnews readers. For example, from the first paragraph in the interview, Brown says:

I'm taking storytelling so seriously that I'm now spending part of my time at the new institute for media literacy at USC. I'm particularly interested in digital storytelling, in new ways to use multiple media to tell stories and in the ability of kids, who are now growing up in a digital world, to figure out new ways to tell stories. They have the ability to build interpretive movies very simply and to lay sound tracks around the content. They condition or "sculpture" the context around the content. The serious interplay between context and content is key to what film - and rich media in general - are about. I want to understand what film people know about storytelling. I want to know what makes them such good storytellers. What are the techniques (and grammars) of film that help them create an emotional scaffolding around a story so that it connects first to the gut and then to the head?
