Penny Gill and I were honoured to be part of a team that published a book Telling stories differently: engaging 21st-century students through digital storytelling(DST). Published by Sun Media the book evolved as a collaboration between Janet Condy, an Associate Professor in the Faculty of Education at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT), and CPUT academics to capture their research projects using DST. The purpose of the book is to share a collection of studies using DST as a pedagogical tool in CPUT. The book was launched on Thursday 3 September 2015 at the International RASA and Pan African Literacy Conference in the Baxter Hall. The team included Daniela Gachago, Eunice Ivala, Agnes Chigona, Franci Cronje, Veronica Barnes, Rajendra Chetty, Subethra Pather, Chantyclaire Tiba, Ignatius Ticha, Anthea Adams, Ayesha Reiners, and Mandie Richards. I was privileged to have Dr. Agnes Chigona as a co-author as she steered me through the process of writing
