Don Doehla's List: digitalstorytelling

Regardless of what social and emotional learning (SEL), character development, or any other related program you might use in your school, two things are true: They have a problem-solving component, and generalization is greatly enhanced when what is being taught as SEL/character is also integrated into the rest of the school day.

Because of the importance of language arts skills, reading activities provide an ideal way to build students' problem-solving skills by applying them to deepen their insights into the written materials.

Les légendes continuent, même à l'heure du micro-ordinateur, de l'Internet et des nouvelles technologies, à alimenter notre imaginaire.
Les légendes québécoises ont eu et ont encore souvent un rapport avec la religion et la pratique du culte.  On y retrouve bien sûr des fantômes et des revenants. Le diable, symbole du mal, est souvent présent et bon nombre de fois, se fait rouler par les humains, malgré les nombreux pactes qu'il signe avec eux en échange de leur âme.
Le mythe ou l'exaltation des hommes forts a aussi été une constante à travers les siècles.  Le Québec n'a pas échappé à cette règle.
Et que dire du rôle des premières nations dans l'histoire québécoise!

Dans cette rubrique, je veux vous présenter des légendes recueillies dans différentes régions du Québec.  Je vous les raconte comme on me les a racontées.

Telling our story is an essential part of our humanness. It allows us to feel part of the community that knows our story, and it fosters empathy for those that surround us. Story is a powerful force in shaping mental models, motivating and persuading others, and teaching the lessons of life. Telling story extends back to a time when oral history dominated the tools of communication. And now the flood of technology tools that allow for instant communication has spun us back into a golden age where story again dominates the media landscape.

PLUS ON EST DE FOUS, PLUS ON LIT!




Écouter Lire le Monde est un projet mondial de lecture. Nous voulons créer des liens entre les élèves de partout sur la planète autour d’une même histoire pour qu’ils puissent partager leurs appréciations.




Tous les participants entament la lecture, à voix haute ou d’une autre manière, d’une des oeuvres proposées, à raison de quelques chapitres par semaine, selon l’agenda établi pour chacun des romans. Ensuite, vous êtes invités à partager votre compréhension, vos réactions et vos appréciations avec les autres lecteurs en utilisant le ou les outils de votre choix!




Chaque semaine, nous vous recommandons fortement à ajouter vos appréciations (ou un lien vers celles-ci) sur les canaux de communication officiels d’Écouter Lire le Monde afin de rejoindre le plus grand nombre de participants.

For all of the free literature and essays available online, a surprisingly small amount is geared toward children. Even less is aimed at children who speak foreign languages.

The International Children’s Digital Library offers children ages 3-13 free access to the best available children’s literature in more than 40 languages. Librarians find and digitize books published around the world and present them in their original languages.

The Goals of this Website
The primary goal of the Educational Uses of Digital Storytelling website is to serve as a useful resource for educators and students who are interested in how digital storytelling can be integrated into a variety of educational activities. The site was originally created in 2004 and faculty members and graduate students in the Instructional Technology Program at the University of Houston College of Education continue to maintain the site and add new content. 

Mission
We surface authentic voices around the world through group process and participatory media creation. Our programs support people in sharing and bearing witness to stories that lead to learning, action, and positive change.

What We Do
For nearly twenty years, the Center has been supporting people in sharing meaningful stories from their lives. Our unique workshops assist participants in producing short, first-person narratives that can be presented in a variety of traditional and social media formats. We provide non-threatening production environments in which the process of creation is valued as much as the stories created.

Through partnerships with a range of organizations, institutions, and funders, we offer story making and story distribution services that prioritize the power of individual voices. Whether you're interested in storytelling for professional development, as a reflective practice, as a pedagogical strategy, or as a vehicle for education, community mobilization, or advocacy, we are recognized globally as experts in all things digital storytelling.

Digital storytelling refers to a short form of digital media production that allows everyday people to share aspects of their life story. "Media" may include the digital equivalent of film techniques (full-motion video with sound), animation, stills, audio only, or any of the other forms of non-physical media (material that exists only as electronic files as opposed to actual paintings or photographs on paper, sounds stored on tape or disc, movies stored on film) which individuals can use to tell a story or present an idea.

When students create a movie or interactive slide show to tell their story, learning becomes personal. Students can improve their writing, show creativity, and have a voice.

Digital Storytelling can transform your students' writing into a visual masterpiece that is filled with voice and emotion, while enhancing critical thinking skills.  The iPad takes digital storytelling to a new level by making the process easier, and even more engaging for students of all grade levels as well as for their teachers.  

This site will help guide you in what you need for success in the iPad Digital Storytelling classroom.

The elements of digital storytelling and storybuilding!

A digital story combines text and images with narration in the student’s own voice to form a short digital movie.

Digital Storyteller is a web-based tool that offers teachers and students frictionless access to digital images and materials that enable them to construct compelling personal narratives. Digital Storyteller was developed as an initiative of Primary Access.

“Digital Storytelling is the modern expression of the ancient art of storytelling. Throughout history, storytelling has been used to share knowledge, wisdom, and values. Stories have taken many different forms. Stories have been adapted to each successive medium that has emerged, from the circle of the campfire to the silver screen, and now the computer screen.” 

If you find a link that is not working, please let me know the title and I will fix it.
And, if you have another great digital storytelling site to share, let me know as well!

Stories bring us together, encourage us to understand and empathize, and help us to communicate. Long before paper and books were common and affordable, information passed from generation to generation through this oral tradition of storytelling. Consider Digital Storytelling as the 21st Century version of the age-old art of storytelling with a twist: digital tools now make it possible for anyone to create a story and share it with the world.

In this revised and updated edition of the Center's popular guide to digital storytelling, co-founder Joe Lambert details the history and methods of digital storytelling practices. Using a "7 Steps" approach, Lambert helps storytellers identify the fundamentals of dynamic digital storytelling--from seeing the story, assembling it, and sharing it. As in the last edition, readers of the fourth edition will also find new explorations of the applications of digital storytelling and updated appendices that provide resources for budding digital storytellers, including information about past and present CDS-affiliated projects and place-based storytelling, a narrative-based approach to understanding experience and landscape. A companion website further brings the entire storytelling process to life.
