"..they had students produce a series of digital images to visually communicate meaning and provide a narration for the video.."Source: M.D. Roblyer, 4th edition, 2006, page 298.
Many of us have either read an edition of M.D. Roblyer's Integrating Educational Technology into Teaching, or purchased our own copy.
Back in May of 2000 the 2nd edition of this book was my very first Amazon.com purchase. Back then, there were no mentions of digital storytelling.
I am happy to note that digital storytelling, and some various morphs of the original craft, is mentioned on the following pages of the 4th edition:
Pages 297 - 298: Producing series of digital images.
Pages 253 and 354: As a top 10 strategy for technology in social studies.
Pages 358 - 359: As a strategy during the study of history.
On page 358 of the 4th edition digital storytelling is defined as:
"..the process of using images and audio to tell the stories of lives, events, or eras. With this technique, students use personal narrative to explore community-based history, politics, economics, and geography. These projects offer students the opportunity to make their own lives a part of their scholarly research."
This quote is listed as part of a technology integration idea for the study of Anne Frank in 7th to 9th grade history.
The possibilities are many!
