What made these women want to become teachers? What qualifications did they pursue? What does a teaching career give you?  Hear first-hand what inspires Brendalee and Narelle and the impact they have on the lives of their students, and their communities.

We all remember that one teacher that helped us to learn and grow, who created a safe space or supported us through school.

Abstract
This article discusses a pilot project that adapted the methods of digital storytelling and oral history to capture a range of personal responses to the official Apology to Australia’s Indigenous Peoples delivered by Prime Minister Kevin Rudd on 13 February 2008. The project was an initiative of State Library of Queensland and resulted in a small collection of multimedia stories, incorporating a variety of personal and political perspectives. The article describes how the traditional digital storytelling workshop method was adapted for use in the project, and then proceeds to reflect on the outcomes and continuing life of the project. The article concludes by suggesting that aspects of the resultant model might be applied to other projects carried out by cultural institutions and community-based media organizations.
