Powerful Tools for Teaching and Learning: Digital Storytelling

Powerful Tools for Teaching and Learning: Digital Storytelling introduces educators to digital storytelling and explores ways to use digital stories to enhance students’ learning experiences. The course is designed to be comprehensive yet fundamental. By comprehensive we mean that the course provides a solid foundation for all of the components of a digital story and illustrates these components with tutorials, example stories, and links to additional readings. The course also provides a hands-on opportunity for learners to create their own digital stories. The course is fundamental because it covers the basic process of creating a digital story starting with just a simple script and as little as one image. This course is intended for K-12 teachers in all disciplines, although it is open to anyone with an interest in digital storytelling. Course participants will use WeVideo (https://www.wevideo.com/), a free web-based video editing program, to create a digital story that could be shared both online and with students in the classroom. Teachers in the state of Texas may be eligible to receive Continuing Professional Education units if they complete the major requirements of the course.

Week 5

In Week 5, you will reflect on what you have learned in this course, how you dealt with each component of the digital storytelling process and discuss the challenges you faced, as well as how you dealt with these challenges in creating your digital story.In addition, you will have the option of revising the final version of your digital story based on the feedback you received. Please note that you may choose to use the version of your digital story that you submitted in the previous week as the final version. If this is the case, you do not need to revise your digital story, but you should still complete the Final Digital Story Assessment as one of this week’s assignments.

Lesson 5.

Use high quality, interesting images that support the story.

While they are writing the script, students should think about what kinds of

images they will be able to use in their digital story that will add meaning and

interest.

The students generally search for online images first.

But they often select low quality,

low resolution images that appear first in their search query.

A low resolution image can often ruin a digital story

because of the blurry quality.

Often, students do not realize that they can limit their search to high resolution,

large size images in the search engine.

On certain topics it may be more appropriate for

students to take their own pictures with a digital camera.

Scan images from books, newspapers, or magazines, or

create charts and graphics in a program like Excel.

Or even save PowerPoint slides as still images for use in their digital story.

Lesson 6, use meaningful file names of images and other media.

When downloading media from the web for

use in a digital story, the file names should be rewritten

using descriptive information without any spaces in the name.

But instead, using dashes or underscores.

In some cases, original images may have meaningless names that will make

them harder to identify among all of the images that have been downloaded.

For example, this image, of the rings of Saturn,

was saved from the NASA website with this actual file name.

216200main_pia10246-516.jpg.

It would be much

better to rename this image so

that the file name accurately describes what the picture shows.

So Saturn-rings.jpg.

Would be a much more appropriate name for this file.

Lesson 7, create a detailed storyboard before creating the digital story.

Creating storyboards is an often overlooked part of the digital

storytelling process.

And for many students,

storyboarding may seem like a tedious extra step in the development.

However, storyboarding can be a valuable component of the creative process

by allowing students to organize images and

text in a blueprint fashion before the actual creation begins.

Storyboards provide a way to decide how the digital story scripts

can be split up into individual pieces.

Either with or without placeholder images.

So that the student can then get a clear overview of their digital story plan.

Because they can see the entire plan lied out in front of them storyboards can also

inspire new ideas as well as let students rearrange existing resources

before the final development begins when changes may be harder to make.

Storyboards may be created on a computer using programs such as Microsoft Word,

Excel or

PowerPoint as well as with specialized software such as Storyboard That.

Storyboards may also be sketched by hand

allowing students to complete this phase of development without using a computer.

The most important thing to remember is that creating a storyboard is an integral

part of the pre-development process that has many benefits and

should not be overlooked.

Lesson 8, carefully organize all digital story materials in one location.

Our experience has taught us that a system for

cataloguing all of the digital story materials

will help students stay organized and allow them to more easily locate

all the important files they will be using in their digital storytelling project.

We have seen far too many cases where students have stored files

in numerous locations, only to become frustrated and

discouraged when these files can not be found.

Here are some important organizational strategies for

beginning digital storytellers.

Before any work is done on the computer,

students should begin by creating a folder on the computer,

where all of the files related to the digital story can be stored.

Inside this master folder separate sub folders should be created for

the script, story board, text files, images, audio narration,

music, video clips, and any other materials that will be used.

This type of organization will make locating files much easier and

will help students eliminate their frustration and confusion they invariably

feel when they cannot locate important pieces of their projects.

Storing all files in the master folder also has the added benefit of allowing

the entire project to be easily copied to a thumb drive or external hard drive so

that the student may work on the digital story project on a different computer.
