Description:

" Digital storytelling provides an authentic personal learning experience- as such; student investment is greatly increased resulting in greatly improved motivation and end product. " - David Jakes The Goals of this Website The primary goal of the Educational Uses of Digital Storytelling website is to serve as a useful resource for educators and students who are interested in how digital storytelling can be integrated into a variety of educational activities. The site was originally created in 2004 and faculty members and graduate students in the Learning, Design and Technology Program at the University of Houston College of Education continue to maintain the site and add new content. The EUODS Website in 2004 The EUODS Website in 2008 The Current EUODS Website Our long term goal is to make theEducational Uses of Digital Storytelling website a comprehensive clearinghouse of information for both those just starting to use digital storytelling as well as for educators, graduate students and researchers who want to deeply explore the many facets of this educational technology tool. Educational Fair Use Although we stress to our students that they should try to create their own materials for use in their digital story projects, some of the digital stories contained on this site include still images, audio files and video clips that were found on the Internet using commonly available search engines, websites such as YouTube, as well as from television broadcasts, commercial VHS tapes and DVDs. We hope that these digital stories can serve as examples to educators of how the power of accessible multimedia can be used to engage students in today s K-12 and higher education classrooms and excite them about the possibility of creating their own digital stories.

Digital storytelling integrates oral storytelling with technology. Constructing a digital story requires individuals to organize information, write and utilize technology, but most importantly authors must reflect on experience (Barrett, 2005). Unlike oral stories that are subject to varying interpretations, digital stories are permanent artifacts capturing a specific moment in time; one telling of an experience that stands as an object for personal reflection and evaluation (Lathem, Reyes, Qi, 2006). Workshop Presenters: Dr. Lynne M. Walters Dr. Martha R. Green Date: Wednesday, July 24 Thursday, July 25, 2013 Time: 9:00 am to 4:00 pm Location: General Services Complex Fee: $125.00: Includes curriculum materials lunch both days CPE/GT/ESL Credit: 14 hours Register online: https://secure.touchnet.com/C21490_ustores/web/product_detail.jsp?PRODUCTID=3273 For additional information, contact Dr. Martha Green at mgreen@tamu.edu or 979-862-6700. Workshop flyer available at: http://worldroom.tamu.edu Workshop focus: This workshop will engage participants in the development of a digital story, provide theoretical support for the use of digital storytelling in education and qualitative research, and demonstrate pedagogical approaches for using digital storytelling in the writing and social studies classroom.

Welcome to the 2013 version of the Educational Uses of Digital Storytelling website.

The site is aimed at those just starting to explore this technology as well as long-time users as well as educators and students who are interested in exploring articles and research studies that deal with digital storytelling. I would like to especially thank several of my colleagues who have helped make this website possible: Arthur Beltran, who is the chief designer of the website;Rashmi Chhetri, who has cataloged all of the digital stories on the site and made them ready for web delivery;Sara McNeil, who has provided academic, professional and technical support for the website and all of our digital storytelling efforts at the University of Houston;Michael Rapp, who makes sure that the website is accessible 365 days a year; and all of my current and former digital storytelling students who have contributed much of the content on the website.
