Combining Voice, Video, Image, and Text Through Digital Video

ProductionDigital Storytelling- As defined by Educause- “the practice of combining narrative with digital content, including images, sound, and video, to create a short movie, typically with a strong emotional component” net.educasue.edu/ir/library/pdf/ELI7021.pdf(Hicks pg. 73)

Digital video- Not just digital storytelling. Important to differentiate mode for students. Mode = PSAs, commercials, newscasts, satire, book talk, etc…

Digital storytelling- Important to teach kids how effects can enhance storytelling (or detract from..) Multimodal authoring leads to new understandings.
