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.

Hello, storytellers.

In this series of weekly videos, we will be providing an overview

of the learning objectives, course content and assignments expected to view

each week as you progress through this digital storytelling MOOC.

Let's get started with Powerful Tools for Teaching and

Learning Digital Storytelling.

Week 1, choosing a topic and defining your purposes.

[MUSIC]

This MOOC is based on an intensive 15-week course that we teach at

the University of Houston, called Educational Uses of Digital Storytelling.

The main purpose of this MOOC is to provide an introduction

to Digital Storytelling.

So to do that, we've condensed the fifteen weeks of content from our course at

the University into a shorter time period of just five weeks that's presented here.

So for example, in the graphic on our educational uses of digital storytelling

website, there's a diagram of an eight step process for digital storytelling.

In this book we have combined some of the steps and

created a simplified version of the digital storytelling process that is

divided into five steps, which form our five main content weeks.

You will learn more about these steps in the video

The Digital Storytelling Process,

which can be found in the week one course content.

But please remember that these five weeks

are designed to give you just an introduction digital storytelling.

And we're not able to cover every aspect and

detail of the digital story telling process in such a brief period of time.

The objective of week one is to choose the topic and

to define the purpose of your digital story.

Week one introduces you to the basics of visual story telling.

You will explore the fundamental elements of a good digital story and

review examples used by educators across a varied curriculum.

This first week's lecture content is a collection of videos that have

been designed to help you form an understanding of what a digital story is,

as well as some readings on digital stroytellings, applications and education.

Furthermore, we have also provide a selection of sample digital stories

to help you visualize the different kinds of visual stories

that you could potentially create by the end of the course.

By the end of this week you will be able to choose a topic and

define the purpose of a digital story you will create for your classroom or

informal learning setting.

Assignment 1 requires that you formulate the general topic, and

give a brief description of the digital story that you will create.

Additionally you will also participate in the discussion forums, and

share some introductory information about yourself.

Once these assignments are completed, you're ready to move on to week two.

That concludes the first of our weekly overview videos.

Have a great week, Story Tellers.

And I'm excited to discover the digital stories that you will tell.
