In 2009 I was alerted via a blog post by my friend and fellow digital storytelling influencer Gareth Morlais about a book that was ground-breaking at the time. Story Circle:

Fish Stories

Creative Commons 2.0 Flickr Photo by: CaliforniaDFG We've all heard our share of fish stories. Recently I had the pleasure of listening on two separate occasions to two different fish stories told by two different men in their '80s. The first was on the plane back from Vancouver a couple of weeks ago. I had the pleasure of sitting next to an octogenarian whose adventures made me tired just listening. He'd flown an hour and a half north of Vancouver to fish with his sons and grandsons for Chinook

Choosing Your Story - Turning Points

DigitalStory.ca ·

2013/06/15

It can be difficult choosing a topic for your very first digital story. It helps to see a few examples ahead of time to get the feel for how a digital story is structured. But still, it can be difficult. Especially if you have several stories to tell. Narrowing down a topic that lends itself well to the digital storytelling format can be a challenge. It helps to choose an event or a particular situation and write about it. We tried an exercise this week called "Turning Points" -- a variation of

Digital Storytelling on iPad

It shouldn't make a difference but it does. I had been providing digital storytelling workshops for several years to teachers and students before I treated myself to my first Centre for Digital Storytelling workshop in Denver three years ago this summer. I remember starting with the story circle, writing my narrative and then we were all given white MacBooks and had an hour or two instruction on a particular video editing software. We were all using the same technology to assist us in telling our

Digital Storytelling - Pixie for iPad

2013/04/23

I'm always experimenting with new applications that will give me the opportunity to provide the participants in my digital storytelling sessions a chance to stitch together their stories. Tech4Learning's new iPad app., Pixie, may just be my next good find. If you are a reader of this blog you know that I favour personal narratives. There is nothing more satisfying than guiding students and adults through the process of creating their own digital stories. With Pixie for iPad the task of

Writing About Moments

I had a special experience with the lower school teachers at Collegiate School on Friday this week. It was one of those workshops where barriers come down, trust and honesty are evident and when 30 minutes after the session ends, 80% of the participants are still enjoying the showcase and celebration of their stories. They wrote about relationships and places, triumphs and natural disasters. But mostly they wrote about moments in their lives. There's a deep sense of feeling and knowing as the

Animation Storytelling

I'm conducting a month long blitz on using various forms of animation with my dozen or so classes. Part of my teaching assignment is to introduce new ways to "show what you know". And from my days 5 years ago taking photographs with a tripod and using Windows Movie Maker to try to animate the photos we have come a long way since then. I continue to find this type of storytelling interesting, innovative and a very good way to motivate students. I have collected a number of resources along the

Story Prompts - Going Deeper

One the most satisfying segments at yesterday's full day digital storytelling session, was during our initial sharing time. Joe Lambert calls it a writing prompt. He has had success with it so I thought I'd try it. What happened was just short of amazing. 7 people shared personal, heartfelt moments in their lives. You see, digital storytelling is all about going deeper. When we engage in a story circle with thoughts and moments from our lives that are decisive. When we talk about our major

Here's a short list of books about story and digital storytelling.This list contains books I have read. I'm sure there are many more. Also, the books here are mostly about writing personal, compelling, nonfiction narratives. I've added suggested chapters beneath each title which, in my humble opinion, are the gems of each book. One book I'd like to add is Joe Lambert's book. The third edition is almost ready to be published. I'll update this list when it arrives. If you have any book title

Last week I conducted a digital storytelling afternoon session with three teachers. The session came about as a result of school learning team meetings back in June where "a sequence of photos that tells a story" was identified as the writing topic. You'll see the description of the writing task in this framework listed under the Media/Graphical heading. The category is Electronic.Here are the steps we followed during our afternoon session.1.

Once again Marco Torres and his Alas Media crew has introduced teachers to the use of storytelling, visuals and personal narrative during a two day pre-conference session at Building Learning Communites 2009 in Boston last month.What I like about Marco's brand of digital storytelling is how he has his participants select one of their passions as their topic and then write about it -- or visually display the passion with music and no words in some cases.This is not an easy task to accomplish in two

Our local Canadian Forces Base Anniversary Celebration was this past weekend.This story is one of about 8 stories from a group of students I worked with this year in a 4th and 5th grade class. I was contacted by a teacher who thought that adding original digital stills and voiceover narration to the speeches her students were writing would add to the experience. Boy, did it ever!I had the parents of these students tell me what an exciting time their children had creating their "digital speeches".In

Digital Storytelling at NECC 2009

Digital Storytelling networking was a focus for me at NECC 2009 this year in Washington D.C.During a delightful lunch with Bernajean [that's me in the middle] in the Second Life gathering spot, we talked about how folks are looking to write and experience stories which go deeper or higher. I mentioned that in a recent ETFO ICT mini-conference the DST sessions were the ones that were filled to capacity and had wait lists. Could it be that during these challenging economic times, people are longing

Bernajean Porter tweeted a link yesterday to an article she wrote about digital storytelling. Here's why this is not just another article to read. Let me explain.WebQuests and Digital Storytelling have been two of my interests for many years.Americans Bernie Dodge and Tom March, from San Diego State, created the WebQuest method in 1995 and Dana Atchley has been credited for starting the Digital Storytelling movement back in 1993 which was later adapted and refined by Joe Lambert in the late
