Students become creators of content, not just consumers.
Digital Storytelling
“ Movies, advertisements, and all other visual media
are tools teachers need to use and media we must master
if we are to maintain our credibility in the coming years.”
Jim Burke, The English Teacher’s Companion
"We find ourselves living during the greatest communication revolution
in history, where image-dominant literacies of screen, animation, technology,
video game, and picture are starting to share the stage with the
traditional print-text literacies.”Kathleen Monnin, Assistant Professor of Literacy at the University of North Florida
Digital Storytelling
Digital Storytelling
“We live in a world of moving images. To participate fully in our society and its culture
means to be as confident in the use and understanding of moving images
as of the printed word. Both are essential aspects of literacy in the
twenty-first century.” Source: Film: 21st Century Literacy
Digital Storytelling"If video is how we are
communicating and persuading in this new century,
why aren't more students writing screenplays
as part of their schoolwork?" Heidi Hayes Jacobs
Digital Storytelling
“If people aren’t taught the language of sound and images,
shouldn’t they be considered as illiterate as if they left college
without being able to read or write?” George Lucas
