Storymaking > Storytelling

An Introduction to Digital Storytelling - presented for Thompson Rivers University

A hook of interest, the shape of a narrative, a character to care about, suspension of belief, using less, media metaphors are techniques that we can integrate into our work as educators. While technology provides plenty of tools to tell stories, more compelling is what they afford us to practice and develop our own skills of making and incorporating story not only into teaching, but many forms of expression.

TRU's Open Learning Research Fellow Alan Levine will provide a brief overview on his work and experiences with digital storytelling. And with TRU's Brian Lamb, offer an invitation to participate in "The You Show", a hands-on participatory digital storytelling seminar: http://youshow.trubox.ca

38. Participating in ds106 eliminated
    my fears—- my fears about my
    abilities, my fears about the online
    community, my fears about
    technology, and my fears about
    sharing ideas.

39. ds106 has given this me the conviction that I, at 72,
    can make videos, that tell my story beautifully,
    thoughtfully, and truthfully. The community aspect
    gives me the security that, no how busy I am with
    other things, I can always "drop into" ds106 and
    continue to learn more.
