"Every child should have mud pies, grasshoppers, waterbugs, tadpoles, frogs & turtles, elderberries, wild strawberries, acorns, hickory nuts, trees to climb, animals to pet, hayfields, pine cones, rocks to roll, sand, snakes, huckleberries and hornets – and any child who has been deprived of these has been deprived of the best part of his education." -Luther Burbank 1849 - 1926

The Electronic Campfire - Podcasting and Social Media

People love storytelling! Whether you can tell your story one to one, to a roomfull of eager listeners, by phone or by computer, the urge is to share and connect.

Video has now become the visual language of storytelling across distance. With Podcasting that can be enjoyed on your home computer, laptops, PDAs, and now, cell phones, stories can be shared in almost living color. (Nothing beats being out in nature...really!)

Carolyn Allen and the Backyard Nature Center team are joining the world of electronic storytelling. We have established an "URBAN NATURE" community on YouTube.com in which we invite all our readers to share your nature stories. Carolyn has uploaded a mini-vacation to start the storytelling session that shows a gorgeous "California Sunset".

You can now upload video clips directly from PDAs and cell phones.

To view the growing community of videos, go to: http://www.youtube.com/group/urbannature

We're looking forward to seeing and hearing YOUR nature stories!
