Who tells your Story?

Welcome to Storychasers, a passion project of Wes Fryer of Charlotte, North Carolina!

I invite you to become your family's "digital witness," archiving the voices and stories of family members which can be preserved and shared for generations.

Becoming Your Family's Digital Witness

January 2013, TEDxOU, Norman, Oklahoma

As a current middle school STEM and media literacy teacher in Charlotte, one of my favorite units for my students in "Computer Applications" is our "Family Oral History Unit." I offer workshops and webinars to empower both younger students as well as adults as digital storytellers. Since 2013 I've maintained the website ShowWithMedia.com, which highlights a variety of media projects that allow you to "show what you know with media."

Example Digital Stories
