Digital Storytelling with the iPad: Creating Book Trailers. Background Through a generous grant from a corporate sponsor, our university was able to purchase 14 iPads with iMovie, young adult literature selections for book circles, and video cameras for a book trailer project with a local middle school.
A book trailer is, no surprise here, a trailer for a book in the style of a movie trailer. Search YouTube for your favorite book + "book trailer" or "trailer" and you will be sure to find an example or two. Myself, a professor from the College of Liberal Arts, and a professor from the College of Education, implemented the project. My collegue oversaw the book circles, visiting the English Language Arts classrooms and assisting the teachers in planning and facilitating the book clubs. Procedure and Implementation We had two eighth grade classes that were divided into twelve book circles.
Planning Next, we viewed some trailers. 10 Digital Storytelling Projects. Scoring Guides. iOSteacher: Digital storytelling with StoryKit. StoryKit is a free app for both the iPod and iPad that allows the reader to create digital stories.
When I first downloaded it, I didn't get the point right away and thought it was just another, not very good, ereader because it comes with three books included on its bookshelf. Once I figured out that it is intended to create books as much as to read them, it suddenly became a LOT more interesting! The first time I used it with students was with a group of 1st graders. They created a book for me on paper first and only once that was finished did we start the process of transferring the book to the iPods. For their books (about animals) the students had drawn pictures. All the students VERY quickly got the hang of navigating their way through StoryKit.
iOSteacher: Digital storytelling with StoryRobe. StoryRobe is another way for kids to create digital stories using photos or digital copies of their own artwork.
Once they've selected the images they want to use and put them in the right order, they can record the text to go with the images. They can talk for a total of up to 3 minutes, and synchronize the images with what they are saying by tapping the screen as they talk to advance to the next picture. StoryRobe creates a single video file that can then be shared. Unlike StoryKit, there is no option to add text to the finished product, as the model is more video-like than book-like.

But rather than just handing their school work to a teacher, students can now also broadcast their creations across the world, allowing anyone to view and rate their work. Via blogs, podcasts and online games, pupils are opening themselves up to public criticism and sharing their school work with audiences on a scale never previously possible. This made me think there's a different way of using my mind.
Publishing their work so openly might seem a risky approach but it is generally a better learning experience than traditional teaching and school performances alone, the director of innovation at Northern Beaches Christian School, Stephen Collis, says. Not only do students receive honest feedback, they also observe each other's ideas and develop better awareness about internet safety. Advertisement. Issuu - You Publish.

My students have requested that I make a model representation and rationale for them so they can see exactly what is expected of them. I was hesitant to do so as I feel that it could result in a series of copy-cat representations – contra to the educational philosophy behind the task: critical and creative thinking – however I have relented as this is the first time they’ve completed a task like this, with ultimate freedom of form comes ultimate responsibility.
I don’t wanna scare the little guys. Below is my representation of belonging. The process used to create the task is the process I have asked my students to follow, think about the ideas you want to articulate, the understanding of belonging you want to share, then think about HOW to do this.

Everyone has a story to tell and new technology means that anyone can create a story that can be shown on a website or in a digital presentation.

There are many different definitions of "digital storytelling," but in general, all of them revolve around the idea of combining the longstanding art of telling stories with any of a variety of available multimedia tools, including graphics, audio, video animation, and Web publishing. Digital stories are "mini-movies" created and edited by people like you and your students - using cameras, computers, scanners and their own photo albums and now mobile devices such as iPads and iPod Touches! Most Digital Stories contain a spoken story supplemented by photographs.
