Digital Storytelling - Gr. 7 to 9 History

" ..they had students produce a series of digital images to visually communicate meaning and provide a narration for the video.. " Source : M.D. Roblyer, 4th edition, 2006, page 298. Many of us have either read an edition of M.D. Roblyer's Integrating Educational Technology into Teaching , or purchased our own copy. Back in May of 2000 the 2nd edition of this book was my very first Amazon.com purchase. Back then, there were no mentions of digital storytelling . I am happy to note that digital storytelling , and some various morphs of the original craft, is mentioned on the following pages of the 4th edition: Pages 297 - 298: Producing series of digital images. Pages 253 and 354: As a top 10 strategy for technology in social studies. Pages 358 - 359: As a strategy during the study of history. On page 358 of the 4th edition digital storytelling is defined as: "..the process of using images and audio to tell the stories of lives, events, or eras . With this technique, students use personal narrative to explore community-based history , politics, economics, and geography . These projects offer students the opportunity to make their own lives a part of their scholarly research ." This quote is listed as part of a technology integration idea for the study of Anne Frank in 7th to 9th grade history. The possibilities are many!
