Exploring the Environment through Digital Storytelling

2015 K-12 GLOBAL EDUCATION SYMPOSIUM FROM LOCAL TO GLOBAL: EXPLORING ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY William and Ida Friday Center, Chapel Hill, NC October 21, 2015

Exploring the Environment through Digital Storytelling

Today’s K-12 digital storytelling encompasses a range of tools, formats, and contexts for learning. At one time, digital storytelling was seen mostly as montages of images and videos set to music and narration. Although today’s classroom and school library applications still include this form, students, teachers, and school librarians can now use an array of approaches to tell digital stories, including via tweets, Vine videos, single-image stories, and “Draw My Life” whiteboard narratives. Through storytelling contexts from science content to poetry and self-reflection, digital storytelling fosters creativity, collaboration, digital literacy, and critical thinking, and aligns with cross-curricular learning objectives. In this session, participants will have the opportunity to practice some apps for integrating digital storytelling into environmental topics. Having a laptop, tablet, or smart phone is encouraged but not required.

“Are there rules about digital storytelling? Perhaps one: story without digital works, but digital without story doesn’t.”

"Information literacy has progressed from the simple definition of using reference resources to find information. Multiple literacies, including digital, visual textual, and technological, have now joined information literacy as critical skills for this century."
