Purpose & Objectives • Digital Storytelling allows for meaningful use of digital resources and authentic content in the classroom. • Appeal to the diverse learning styles of students by using Digital Storytelling as a presentation media. • Generate interest, attention and motivation for the "digital generation" kids in our classrooms. • Capitalize on the creative talents of your own students as they begin to research and tell stories of their own. • Publish student work on the Internet for viewing and critiquing by others. • Promote the accomplishment of cross-curricular academic standards and learning objectives. “Digital Storytelling is also a motivating strategy for involving students in their own learning using 21st Century tools of engagement.” Helen C. Barrett, Research Associate—Center for Advanced Technology in Education; University of Oregon
An Effective Tool for Teachers Stories created by teachers can serve: • as a lesson hook • as a way to integrate multimedia into the curriculum • as a way to make difficult content more understandable • to facilitate classroom discussion ArnieAbrams, Ph.D.
Ideas for the Classroom Be the character or historical figure and tell the story as a first person narrative (e.g., Lewis & Clark, Napoleon Bonaparte, Harry Potter). Compare and contrast (e.g., King Tutankhamen) Create a music video (e.g., Constitution, math order of operations). Be a talk show host interviewing a character. Lesson Plans Galore!
Assessment • Give students options for creating • Use rubrics • Match to subject area standards • Writing component
What if I don’t know how to use the Web 2.0 tools? don‘t have to!
Anything else? • Start with script and storyboard • HAVE FUN!!!
