Digital Storytelling

ASSIGNMENT TITLE:
Digital Storytelling

USES IN THE CLASSROOM:
Digital Storytelling can be used in many different ways to tell stories about any topic. For this assignment we were asked to create a digital story that tells a story about something we may teach.
Students would use digital storytelling to design, produce, and publish their own personal digital story. Examples of assignments may be: tell a story about your summer vacation, your favorite book, family member, etc. If a teacher thinks it could be made into a story, a student should be able to create a digital story and be published and viewed by many.

ISSUES TO CONSIDER:
Students must have access to a computer with internet, the digital storytelling software, a microphone (or computer that has a microphone), camera (and a way to upload the pictures), and general knowledge on how to navigate around the software. Students will need to understand how to locate materials under the creative commons licensing or be able to get permission to use any copyrighted materials. Students should be able to site any materials used in the creating of the digital story.
