Exploring Digital Storytelling: An Overview of the Process

Digital storytelling (DST) uses new digital tools to help ordinary people tell their own `true stories` in a compelling and emotionally engaging form. The availability of affordable digital cameras, low threshold production techniques and Internet delivery make it easier that ever to share experiences, histories and ideas. During this class, we will look as some examples of digital stories, provide an overview of a process for creating your own digital stories and help faculty begin to explore how DST might work in their discipline/content area. This class will discuss sharing stories in a story circle and what it means to transform a story into a digital format for delivery in 3 to 4 minutes. It will also prepare participants to write a draft script of 250 words, collect digital resources and organize them for production and sharing online.
