Brain-research suggests that human-beings are hardwired to…
Encourages research by helping students invest in issues and engagingthem in dynamic, interactive processes of learning.• Fosters critical thinking skills, helping students think more deeply, clearly,and complexly about content, especially when that content is challenging.It gives them practice in the skills of sequencing, logic, and constructinga persuasive argument. Creating storyboards and then editing storiesreinforces these skills.• Encourages students to write and to work at becoming better writers.Many students don’t think of themselves as writers or are daunted by thewriting process. Writing, revising, and editing scripts for digistories makesthis process natural and enjoyable. It promotes student-initiated revisioninstead of editing according to a teacher’s markups or a grade requirement.• Gives students a voice. It empowers them to find their own unique pointof view and relationship to the material they’re investigating and to expressthat viewpoint more fully and clearly. Many students find that sharing theirdigistories is far less threatening than reading their writing out loud.• Tells a personal narrative. Enables students to share about themselves,such as a key turning point in their life or their family history. Digistoriescan embody the story of someone else, where the student takes on theirpersona and shares from their point of view.• Helps students retain knowledge longer. Researchers at GeorgetownUniversity discovered that the emotional aspect of telling stories improveslearning because it helps students remember what they have learned.• Enhances learning by encouraging students to communicateeffectively. It also promotes classroom discussion, community awareness,global awareness, and a connection between what students do in theclassroom and the wider community. Posting students’ digistory projectson class web sites or school portals reinforces these connections andimproves communication.• Helps students make a connection between what they learn in theclassroom and what goes on outside of the classroom. Digistory projectsare geared toward performance, a skill essential for success in the realworld. They also lend themselves naturally to the form of many commonpublic presentations, such as museum docent talks, photo essays, anddocumentary films, giving students practice in real-world skills.• Encourages creativity, helping students open up new ways of thinkingabout and organizing material. This new medium promotes thedevelopment of multiple channel intelligence and communication,blending intellectual thought, research, emotion, and publiccommunication.• Works well with portfolio assessment. For expert advice on how touse electronic portfolios and digital storytelling for “lifelong and life-widelearning,” visit Dr. Helen Barrett’s web site.• Promotes digital literacy. Becoming proficient in digital skills isfundamental to students’ success in the 21st century.1 Knowledge Retentionhttps://digitalcommons.georgetown.edu/projects/digitalstories/affective-learning/2 Creativityhttps://gdc.georgetown.edu/projects/digitalstories/multimedia-distinctive/2/3/3 Portfolio Assessmenthttp://electronicportfolios.org/Summaryhttp://digitalstorytelling.coe.uh.edu/powerpoint.htmlInterviewshttps://digitalcommons.georgetown.edu/projects/digitalstories/Portfolioshttp://electronicportfolios.org/digistory/index.htmlLanguage Learninghttp://digitalstorytelling.coe.uh.edu/esl.htmlWriting Skillshttp://www.cec.sped.org/AM/Template.cfm?Section=Search&template=/CM/HTMLDisplay.cfm&ContentID=11288Vocational Educationhttp://www.icvet.tafensw.edu.au/ezine/year_2006/feb_apr/feature_digital_storytelling.htm
