For the last year and a half I've been collecting information related to digital storytelling. I left the classroom to find out how to use technology to help students improve their storytelling skills. My time at Georgia Tech has not taught me much about technology and narrative, as I had hoped it would, but instead about the properties of interactive digital spaces, video games, and the benefits of working on group projects.
I search the web often for anything related to digital storytelling. There are many threads that will hopefully hold my thesis together. My links are organized by my particular interests in improving digital storytelling practices in education. I Google using variations of 'digital storytelling:' multimedia storytelling, interactive storytelling, digital literacy, online stories. There are a handful of sites where people have gathered online resources that cover everything related to story and digital, but there isn't one that focuses on helping teachers implement digital storytelling in a comprehensive way. That will be Where In the US is Digital Storytelling? arriving soon, I hope.
I thought of breaking down the Digital Storytelling Is...TypeList into a few categories:
- software/digital media tools
- resources for teachers
- stories online
But they're all so related, that it I think it's more useful to post a bunch of them and then sort them later in the Where In the US is Digital Storytelling? site.
