Long before paper and books were common and affordable, information passed from generation to generation through this oral tradition of storytelling. Consider Digital Storytelling as the 21st Century version of the age-old art of storytelling with a twist: digital tools now make it possible for anyone to create a story and share it with the world. WHY Digital Storytelling? Digital stories push students to become creators of content, rather than just consumers.

This is the follow up post to the theoretical Wondering About Hyperlinked Writing . The post ended with Now…on from the wondering, theory and resources…to the practice in the classroom. I am ready to bring hyperlinked writing (and reading) as an important genre into the classroom! Can one just start “throwing” hyperlinked writing” at our students (or teaches for that matter) at any time, at any age? Is hyperlinked writing part of a process?

Storytelling continues to gain popularity as an educational activity. As it stimulates a deep thinking and basic literacies, it also enhances and enriches the learning experience for student voices. Storytelling is a very powerful way of communicating with our peers and portrays to others who we are and what our own stories are. It also provides an opportunity to connect with a group by creating a shared experience. This is vital in any community but more so in an educational setting where we are nurturing and fostering creativity.

This is a training and employment program at the Youth UpRising community center in East Oakland, CA. This program is designed to teach young people how to develop a critical eye towards the media they consume on a daily basis and learn how to use new technologies to produce their own media, with their own voice, their own messages, through diverse forms of creative self-expression. Students learn professional photography, audio/video production and web content creation in order to become youth multimedia producers. http://www.YUmediaArts.org/Many educators interpret fair use as freedom to use copyrighted materials as long as their use is restricted to instructional purposes. Are they correct in that belief? Not exactly! Learn how the law really works. Included: Fair use guidelines for educators! Copyrights and Copying Wrongs , the first part in the Education World series on copyright and fair use, set out a good rule of thumb for using copyrighted material -- when in doubt, ask permission.

A great way to begin learning about Digital Storytelling is by watching a digital story. One of my favorites is The Look, created by Craig Jacobson, which presents a personal reflection about how an educator teaches science fiction. The story is told in a humorous and interesting manner filled with little known historical information on the subject and combines still images, film clips and historical resources.
Digital Storytelling Presentation
With the rise of electronic entertainment, we are seeing games reach a very prominent status in everyday life. Modern culture is increasingly dominated by electronics, and the new games that electronics have made possible are compelling creations that suck away huge amounts of time. At such a time of adjustment, it’s a good idea to go back to the roots of games, and think about why they exist in every human culture, why children of all ages play them, and what important role they play in the development of our brains. – From Raph Koster’s Theory of Fun I’ve been to a lot of conferences. And most of them are often disappointing because the presenters are not effective public speakers or the workshop sessions do not really match the description in the conference program. This conference was different.
