What is a digital story? This week you will find out and begin creating one of your own. Edutopia has a great post called, “Digital Storytelling: Helping Students Find Their Voice.” There are some great links at the end of this post. One of the links will take you to an interview with Marco Torres. I had the pleasure of meeting March and some of his students at a conference in Boston. He and his students have formed a company called, Alas Media. They are doing some amazing things with storytelling. You should check them out.
During class we will be taking a look at this great digtial story. It won an award in 2009. We will also talk about the importance of music. I hope you enjoy the story!! I am sure you will enjoy creating a digital story of your own. Before getting started with our digital stories, let's take a moment to review copyright and fair use. What's Copyright? is a fun animated music video reviewing these concepts.
