Introduction to Digital Storytelling


Set Activity: Visit this site and watch the digital story, Momnotmom.

First, visit this site and jot down key components of the Digital Story. Begin creating a definition for "digital story", adding to it as you journey along.

Next, visit the Storycenter again and listen to the different stories. As you do, add to your definition of Digital Story. Watch as many as you want but make sure you find "Tanya" and "Dear Jody" so that we have a common experience.

Consider the following:
  • What makes up a digital story?
  • What are the different layers? (e.g. music, voice, etc)
  • What makes one story more or less effective than another?
  • What are the different purposes/audiences for creating digital stories.
  • What are possible purposes within the classroom?

Finally, create a post for your blog that defines Digital Storytelling. This is a work in progress, so don't feel that it has to be perfect: it's simply a record of your learning at this moment in time.
