Educational Uses of Digital Storytelling

Larry BedenbaughJust Read, Florida

K-12 Leadership ConferenceAugust 2007

Slates“Students today can’t prepare bark to

calculate their problems. They depend on their slates, which are more expensive. What will they do when the slate is dropped and it breaks? They will not be able to write.”

~Teachers Conference, 1703

Paper

“Students today depend upon paper too much. They don't know how to write on slate without getting chalk dust all over themselves. They can't clean a slate properly. What will they do when they run out of paper? “

~ Principal's Association, 1815

Fountain Pens

“Students today depend on these expensive fountain pens. They can no longer write with a straight pen and nib. We parents must not allow them to wallow in such luxury to the detriment of learning how to cope in the real business world which is not so extravagant.”

~ PTA Gazette, 1914

Ink

"Students today depend upon store bought ink. They don't know how to make their own. When they run out of ink they will be unable to write words or ciphers until their next trip to the settlement. This is a sad commentary on modern education.“

~ The Rural American Teacher, 1929

Ballpoint Pens

"Ballpoint pens will be the ruin of education in our country. Students use these devices and then throw them away. The American virtues of thrift and frugality are being discarded. Business and banks will never allow such expensive luxuries."

~ Federal Teacher, 1950

Technology

“While nobody will ever dispute the importance of a good education, meeting the needs of today's students has changed dramatically from what it was 10 or 20 years ago. Students today are exposed to a vast amount of information and technology early in their lives. Computers, electronic mail, long-distance learning, and the Internet have changed the dynamics of education here in our region and throughout world.

~ Congressman Jerry Moran, 1999

IRA Position Statement on Integrating Literacy and Technology in the

Curriculum

The Internet and other forms of information and communication technology (ICT) are redefining the nature of literacy. To become fully literate in today’s world, students must become proficient in the new literacies of ICT. Therefore, literacy educators have a responsibility to integrate these technologies into their literacy curricula.

NCTE 1992Position Statement

one or more listeners through voice and gesture.

Everyone who can speak can tell stories.

Story is the best vehicle for passing on factual information.
