One of the things I really like about Torres is that él mata dos pájaros de un tiro when he reaches his audience: his love for digital storytelling and real things that really matter or should matter. He was also the one of the Keynote Speakers. At the end, I told him that he has coraje. In his keynote and also his workshop, he did not only talk about technicalities but real things that are happening in the US, that everybody has to pay attention to, especially us as educators.
At the workshop I attended on Monday Feb. 19, when he was talking about audio issues for storytelling, he let us listen subtlety or maybe bluntly to the podcast of Richard Rodriguez in NPR’s All Things Considered from April 5, 2006 “Thanking Immigrants for the Myriad Jobs They Do”
When I saw Marco Antonio showing us the podcast, I decided also to “kill two birds with the same shot”: film the faces in the audiences while recording the podcast.
