| Digital Storytelling, Mediatized Stories: Self-Representations in New Media |
Knut Lundby (red.)Publisher: Peter Lang Publishing, New York, 2008. Reviewed by We live in an age in which more and more of us are creating our own "digital stories". In 2008, 18% of Norwegian 16-24 year olds were recorded as being active bloggers over the previous three months (Statistics Norway, "ICT in households", 2nd quarter 2008) while more than 2/3 of American teenagers have uploaded self-produced material to the Internet, in the form of YouTube videos, photographs, blogs, stories, remixes etc. (Pew Internet). The numbers of these "user-made" cultural productions are growing year by year and spreading from the younger generation to us adults, who are now the group most increasingly represented on Facebook. In blogs and on Facebook the distinction between amateur and professional is largely meaningless. |

| Global perspectives on E-learning. |
Rhetoric and reality by A. A. Carr-Chellman (Ed.). Thousand Oaks, CA: SAGE, 2005

Dr. J. Ola Lindberg

Email: Ola.Lindberg@miun.se
Dr. Anders D. Olofsson
Department of Education, Umeå University Email: Anders.D.Olofsson@educ.umu.se It seems suitable to begin this review by giving a brief description of the context in which the texts of this book are produced. If it fails to be regarded as a description, then we hope at least it can be regarded as one possible understanding of the context. When contextualizing a book, a good idea seems to be to start with a few words about the editor, Alison A. Carr-Chellman. |
