Digital
Storytelling for 21st Century
Digital
storytelling is the practice of combining narrative with digital content,
including images, sound, and video, to create a short movie, typically with a
strong emotional component. It is to facilitate various learning styles and
connect to students’ interest in technology, and, for students, to develop
their ability to appropriately evaluate and use online content and electronic
tools as a means of personal expression. It lets them to express their own
voices fostering a sense of individuality and of “owning” their creations.
A
digital story typically begins with a script. The storyteller then assembles
rich media to support the ideas and emotions in that script, including music or
other audio effects, personal or public-domain images, animations or video, and
other electronic elements. Each story challenges a student to cull—from
personal collections or from other resources—artifacts that meaningfully
support the story and to assemble them in a way that achieves the desired
effect. In doing so, students develop a discerning eye for online resources,
increasing their technology and media literacy.
What
are the implications for teaching and learning? let me tell you what will be
implicated in my teaching and learning in the future:
1.
Continue to view technology as
tangential to their academic work
2.
Engage students in seeing how technology can be applied to
nontechnical disciplines
3.
Creating and watching digital stories
has the potential to increase the information literacy of a wide range of
students.
4.
Allowing students not only to select
representative artifacts from their academic careers but also to create
compelling resources that demonstrate the student’s learning and growth.
