Digital Storytelling…

What is it?

http://net.educause.edu/ir/library/pdf/ELI7021.pdf

Digital Storytelling the practice of combining narrative with digital content, including images, sound, and video, to create a short movie, typically with a strong emotional component.

Constructing a narrative and communicating it effectively require the storyteller to think carefully about the topic and consider the audience’s perspective.

How Does

It Works?

A digital story typically begins with a script. The storyteller then

assembles rich media to support the ideas

and emotions in that script, including music or other audio effects,

personal or public-domain images,

animations or video, and other electronic

elements.

Implications for

Teaching and

Learning

To be ready for college, workforce training, and life in a technological society, students need the ability to gather, comprehend, evaluate, synthesize, and report on information and ideas, to conduct original research in order to answer questions or solve problems, and to analyze and create a high volume and extensive range of print and non-print texts in media forms old and new.

The need to conduct research and to produce

and consume media is embedded into every

aspect of today’s curriculum. In like fashion, research and media skills

and understandings are embedded throughout the

Standards rather thantreated in a separate

section.

Creating and watching digital stories has the

potential to increase the information literacy of a wide range of students.

Moreover, digital stories are a

natural fit for e-portfolios, allowing

students not only to select

representative artifacts from their academic careers but also to create

compelling resources that

demonstrate the student’s learning

and growth.
