Kitty Deal" Telling weak stories with technology is like giving a bad guitar player a bigger amplifier. Similarly, when students have no understanding of how media persuasion works they do not have the skills necessary to understand the digital world they inhabit. Therefore, the most important thing we can do for students is teach them how to tell an effective story. The rest of this site is dedicated to helping students learn how to to tell stories so they can persuade, and understand how others persuade them."

Yet I still find that students need help creating and delivering a story "that works" - that flows from beginning to end, that stays "on message," and that is memorable, and, hopefully, transformational for the the listener. This is particularly important when it comes to digital storytelling because students can easily become enamored of the technology at the expense of their stories.
I also find that students need help understanding the ethical, social and media literacy aspects of media production. This is particularly important if students are to understand how the media they consume tries deliberately to persuade how they think, what they buy and how they vote.

Because you will be showing student work that might include the actual students themselves, you must get expressed written permission from parents to do so. I send out a letter at the beginning of the project to let parents know about the project, then follow up with a permission slip asking for permission to record and show student work

- The era of mass-customized media-based storytelling has finally come of age. We can now tell stories in our own language, in our own way that we can distribute using our own at-home equipment.

- On a technical level: we are bathed in bits.
- On an emotional, humanistic level: we are immersed in stories.
In other words, the Digital Age has unleashed the Storytelling Age for all of us.
-
edia it has taken on new expression and new meaning. I think of media-based storytelling in terms of three ages, or, to put it in more modern parlance, three versions:
-
media - Version 1.0 (1950's - present). Otherwise known as traditional mass media.
-
Floor top
-
Desktop new media - Version 2.0. (1980's - 2003). Then sometime in the 1980's came the possibility of people (rather than just corporations) creating "new" media (video, digital stories, music, etc.) with personal computers
-
Laptop new media - Version 3.0. (2003 - ??). In the past few years everything has changed. The very expensive, difficult world of new media has become so inexpensive and easy to use,
-
small budget can produce quality media. For the first time ever, we can make the kind of media we have been consuming since version 1.0
-
- The Digital Age has produced the Storytelling Age.
-
- stories. Studies are emerging that show that well over half of the teenagers who use the Internet are using it, among other things, to share original digital creations.
-
Bottom Line: Telling weak stories with technology is like giving a bad guitar player a bigger amplifie

Large media companies told stories to us and for us through broadcast TV and radio, and print publication.

"students can easily become enamore of the technology at the expense of their stories" Great point - so, in schools, we need to focus on how we create better writers so that story comes first
-
-
the most important thing we can do for students is teach them how to tell an effective story
-
Focus on assessment
-
"Suppose a parent asks you why you are doing this. What would you say?"
-
get expressed written permission from parents to do so
-
"find the story core" in each of the stories
-
This can be a question, a problem, an obstacle, an opportunity or a goal that needs to be addressed by the main character in the story
-
the essential change that a character needs to undergo to address the challenge, obstacle or opportunity
-
The character addresses the challenge made possible by the transformation. This can mean solving a mystery, slaying a dragon, reaching a goal, applying new academic knowledge or learning processes, overcoming an obstacle… anything that addresses the challenge, resolves the tension and leads to closure
-
Storymapping is basically a process of fleshing out the story core with story details
-
A story map is just a guideline.
-
Computer-based digital storytelling
-
use the computer as the main creation and performance engine.
-
using a program like iMovie on the Mac, or MovieMaker on the PC
-
final product is watched on the computer
-
The narration development process facilitates the development of oral and written literacy skills
-
Just like "good writing is re-writing," it is also true that "good narrating is re-narrating."

THE STORY CORE - Basic Configuration -
The central challenge that creates the story’s tension and forward momentum

Character transformation that facilitates the response to the challenge

The response to the challenge that resolves the tension and leads to story closure.

No matter what kind of approach to storytelling I am using, I always being by focusing on the story, not the technology.
The story core: from problem, thru change, to resolution.To do this I usually tell stories and show stories created by other students (on DVD), then "find the story core" in each of the stories.
-
- Map. Students create a story map (see above).
- Peer pitch. Students use their maps to pitch their stories to each other. They listen, respond, provide feedback they can use to revise their stories.
- Write. Students write the narrative they will record.
- Record. Students record themselves speaking their narrative.
- Listen. Students listen to their narrative for purposes of revision.
- Done? Students and/or teachers decide whether the narrative is finished. If not, is this because, a) it needs rewriting or b) it needs re-recording for technical or expression reasons?
- Next steps. Students proceed with adding images, music, etc., as well as editing.
Story Narrative Steps- create story map and narration first!
