Storytelling: Once Upon a Time…

"Storytelling is the most powerful way to put ideas into the world today."-- Robert McKee

"Story is the vehicle to make sense of our lives."-- Anne Watson

"The greatest revolution of our generation is the discovery that human beings, by changing the inner attitudes of their minds (with stories), can change the outer aspects of their lives."--William James

Page 8: Building coherent digital identity with a digital storytelling

A Story: Definition

- “narrative, or telling, of an event or series of events, crafted in a way to interest the audiences, whether they are readers, listeners, or viewers," (p. 6)

- "a sequence of content, anchored on a problem, which engages that audience with emotion and meaning." (p. 13)

Page 9: Building coherent digital identity with a digital storytelling

Digital Storytelling: Definition

• “Telling of stories with digital technologies." (p.3)• Multimodal stories (words, images, sound,

movement) which are easily shared.

• "[Digital Storytelling] has often been used to describe The Center for Digital Storytelling curriculum."(p. 40).

Adding Digital Aspect to Storytelling

Digital storytelling requires mastering not only of the story content, but also

• media/technologies, • titles, • transitions, • and the Seven Elements of Digital Storytelling.

Page 11: Building coherent digital identity with a digital storytelling

The 7 Elements of Digital Storytelling

1. Point of View - The main point of the story and the

perspective of the author in relation to the story.

2. A Dramatic Question - A key question that keeps the

viewer's attention and will be answered by the end of the

story.

3. Emotional Content - Serious issues that come

alive in a personal and powerful way and connect

the audience emotionally to the story.

4. The Gift of Your Voice - A way to personalize the story

to help the audience understand the context and

to get a stronger sense of the person behind the story

5. The Power of the Soundtrack - Music or other

sounds that support and embellish the story.

6. Economy -Using just enough content to tell the story without overloading

the viewer.

7. Pacing - The rhythm of the story and how slowly or

quickly it progresses.

How Do I Appear? - Digital Icebreakers

Prepare a Visual Resume/Introduction to be shared with the class. The Visual Resume should tell who you are as a person (hometown, major(s), strengths, what you do for fun, what you’re passionate about, social media platforms used), as a learner (learning style, best learning experience), and as a professional (goals in life, perfect job), using a digital platform of your choice, e.g., prezi, slideshare, youtube, glogster. Please limit yourself to about 20 slides/2 minutes.

Effectiveness Evidence1. I understand the purpose(s) and potential uses of ePortfolios to contribute to

my growth as a learner and the development of my professional digital identity.

2. I can identify and provide specific examples of the knowledge and skills I’ve gained from different types of learning experiences.

3. I understand the importance of connecting the knowledge I’ve gained from one place (e.g., the skills gained working with others on a service project), to other situations (e.g., working with a team to plan and produce a group presentation in class).

4. I understand and can demonstrate how my varied learning experiences are connected to certain desired learning outcomes of the university (e.g., demonstrations of ethical leadership, responsible citizenship, and ethical participation in the global community).

5. I can demonstrate (through an essay, paper, presentation, video, ePortfolio page, etc.) the knowledge/skills I’ve gained from pursuing an area of study, or engaging in a series of actions, that reflect my passions and interests. 

6. I can identify significant, impactful learning experiences both inside and outside the classroom, and thoughtfully reflect upon how those experiences have shaped/changed my understanding of self, others, and/or the world.

7. I understand the need to develop a professional digital identity that is distinct from a typical Facebook, LinkedIn, or other similar online identity.

8. I believe it is important to develop and maintain a professional digital identity that demonstrates my knowledge, skills, values, goals and contributions to the human community.
