  5. Sequence of steps to develop a Digital Story (Bull, G. and Kajder, S., 2004) : Digital Storytelling Innovation, T. Duke

  6. The driving aim behind the Center for Digital Storytelling (CDS) is to reach so-called “ordinary people” and encourage them to tell stories through the agency of digital media. • “Technology offers a number of opportunities for connecting classrooms with the world. The advent of the Internet has offered unprecedented prospects for classroom connections, but the recent diffusion of digital cameras throughout society offers instructional possibilities as well” (Bull, G. and Kajder, S., 2004). • “The goal of digital storytelling is to allow a writer to experience the power of personal expression” (Bull, G. and Kajder, S., 2004).

  8. Five Stages of the Innovation Process (Rogers, E. M.,2003) Digital Storytelling Innovation, T. Duke

  9. Knowledge Digital Storytelling Innovation, T. Duke

  10. Persuasion • In a time of financial shortages, schools do not have funding to spend on high-dollar technology. However, most of them have computers or computer labs, access to a digital camera, and all kids have a story to tell. • Students are able to make connections to the world outside of school with their completed projects, providing a larger audience for them. • Parents and others can view the work their children have completed. • Students feel more proud about their finished products than they do from receiving a grade on a written paper. • Opportunities for collaborative learning as students work with a partner to complete projects. Digital Storytelling Innovation, T. Duke

  11. Persuasion, cont’d • Cross curricular – students can create projects that involve writing, narrating, public speaking and technology in math, language arts, science, music, social studies, art…no subject is off limits for the implementation of this creativity! Digital Storytelling Innovation, T. Duke

  12. Decision The implementation of Digital Storytelling has the following educational benefits: • Students will become more interested in writing if their audience is expanded. • Classrooms can make connections in other schools, states, countries! • Could indirectly increase student achievement on standardized writing test. • Little to no additional cost to schools! Digital Storytelling Innovation, T. Duke

  13. Implementation Digital Storytelling Innovation, T. Duke

  14. Confirmation Like traditional storytelling, one uses voice inflection to draw in the audience, but with digital storytelling one engages viewers with music and pictures or illustrations instead of physical movement. “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” (Rule, as cited in Digital Storytelling, 2009). (Thesen, 2011) Digital Storytelling Innovation, T. Duke
