Digital Storytelling in a Web 2.0 World


13/28

What is Digital Storytelling?

Digital Storytelling is the modern expression of the ancient art

of storytelling. Digital stories derive their power by weaving

images, music, narrative and voice together, thereby giving

deep dimension and vivid color to characters, situations,

experiences, and insights.

- Digital Storytelling Association

What Digital Storytelling is

NotDigital storytelling is not simply narrating a set of pictures. It is

the process of using words and pictures to tell a story. (Mullen

& Wedwick, 2008, p. 68)

Digital storytelling is not simply digitizing a picture

book! (Scott Meech @smeech via Twitter)


15/28

Why Digital Storytelling?

In The Classroom- Students can demonstrate their grasp of concept

- Synthesized Brain (doing)

- Retaining (watching)

- Creative outlet- Students can use a myriad of media, photos, images,

songs, video, sound to express themselves and their

stories

- FSL/ ELL Instruction- Use media to help reach foreign language students

matching vocabulary and imagery

- It is engaging a format that the YouTube

generation is accustomed
