Overview Digital Storytelling is the intersection between the age- old art of storytelling and access to powerful technology that is easy to learn and use. Stories have been used throughout history and by all cultures to pass on important knowledge. With the advent of affordable digital video cameras, easy to use software, DVDs, and the Internet we can now tell, capture and disseminate our stories in new ways and to a broader population. So what does this have to do with education? Let's start with the examples below and the quote to the right. While you are at it take a look at the linked documents below the quote. Finally, take a few minutes to write responses to the questions at the bottom of the page. Digital Kids and Analogue Schools The Nintendo Generation A Digital Divide Between Students and Educators?

More recently, I passed it out at a teaching workshop at the Society for Cinema and Media Studies. I thought it might be of value to more of you out there in the community. Much of it builds on the discussion of that concept in Convergence Culture , though I have updated it to reflect some more recent developments in that space. For those who want to dig deeper still into this concept, check out the webcast version of the Transmedia Entertainment panel from the Futures of Entertainment Conference. Transmedia Storytelling 101 1. Transmedia storytelling represents a process where integral elements of a fiction get dispersed systematically across multiple delivery channels for the purpose of creating a unified and coordinated entertainment experience. Ideally, each medium makes it own unique contribution to the unfolding of the story. So, for example, in The Matrix franchise, key bits of information are conveyed through three live action films, a series of animated shorts, two collections of comic book stories, and several video games. There is no one single source or ur-text where one can turn to gain all of the information needed to comprehend the

66. Storytelling.html In this article, I want to discuss one of the nonformal methods I use storytelling. storytelling is an integral part of my approach to design, http://www.pliant.org/personal/Tom_Erickson/Storytelling.html

Tom's Home Page Professional Tell Me... Design as Storytelling* Thomas Erickson Apple Computer, Inc. (now at) snowfall@acm.org Consider the following description of an architect beginning work (Wong , 1992): He placed the site plan on the table and rolled out the tracing paper over the plan. In order to become familiar with the site, he started by sketching 'bubble diagrams' and making annotations on the tracing paper. He was able to see through the translucent tracing paper to the site plan underneath The design built progressively with each new layer of tracing paper, amorphous forms transformed into partitions of space. I like this description. Just roll out the tracing paper and start sketching. Get familiar with the site. Play around. Explore alternatives. And over time, a design gradually comes into being. This feels like such an natural, easy, enjoyable way to begin. Pity the poor interaction designer whose terrain is less tangible. Rather than an easily mapped site, our terrain is a situation, a set of tasks embedded in an environment that is as much cultural and social as it is physical. How does one come to grips with something that is so fluid and ephemeral? Beginning does not seem so easy. Yet, I claim that beginning is not so difficult. The difficulty is that interaction designers have not said much about how they begin the process of design. Little is said about what to do before you know what to do. Because interaction design has strong roots in the social sciences with their positivist approaches to studying and analyzing behavior, little has been written about non-formal methods, approaches which might serve as an analog to the architect's playful, exploratory sketching described above.

Articles Topics About Contact ... No. December A Case for Web Storytelling by Curt Cloninger Published in: Brand Arts Industry Writing No discussion say? A recent article Why so Tech, Beck? Never before have the participants in a medium been so required to learn arcane, technical incantations before they are allowed to communicate in said medium (which explains the continuing appeal of AOL to the new Internet user). Why is technology so interwoven with the web? For one reason, the web is a many-to-many technology. In older mass media, say television, few people produced and broadcast their own TV shows. TV is a one to many technology. Not so the web. Tools like Blogger have made self-publishing on the web a no- brainer. Now you have many speaking to many. Before, no one had to be aware of how a TV set actually worked. The Global Campfire Great Handwriting, Lousy Narrative I just attended and spoke at an industry-wide web builder conference. The topics included XML, JavaScript acceleration, hand-held devices, user experience design, efficient systems development models, efficient web business models, how to use Flash, how to use Dreamweaver, how to write effective email newsletters, etc. In other words, there were lots of presentations on site development, and lots of presentations on tools. There were even some presentations on content. But where were the presentations on how to tell a story in this medium? To draw an analogy, what if this had been a conference on how to write a novel? How would it have compared? Well, they would have taught me how to come up with a good story outline (content). They would have taught me how to use ball point pens, felt tip pens, pencils, and various word processing programs (tools). They would have taught me some grammar (programming languages).

79. Cariadoc's Miscellany: Period Sources For Story Telling Thus, for instance, a Muslim storyteller can follow a recitation of The Raven Banner (written by Malkin Grey and based on an incident in Njal Saga), http://www.pbm.com/~lindahl/cariadoc/period_sources_for_story_telling.html

[This is an article from Cariadoc's Miscellany Miscellany Introduction Period Sources for Story Telling One of my favorite activities at events is to wander from table to table at a feast or from campfire to campfire at a camping event, telling poems and stories. I know of no better way of pulling people out of the twentieth century, if only for a few minutes-especially if the story is presented as a medieval story told by a medieval storyteller. Thus, for instance, a Muslim storyteller can follow a recitation of "The Raven Banner" (written by Malkin Grey and based on an incident in Njal Saga ), which contains a reference to Odin, with the explanation that Odin is, as he understands it, a Djinn or Demon whom the Northmen worship as a god, thus confounding the unity of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful. In much the same way, a Christian storyteller telling an Islamic story might make some comment concerning the false doctrines of the Paynim. In both cases, the point is not to start a religious argument but to make the teller's world-view into a medieval frame for the medieval tale. This is, incidentally, an entirely period device; both the Indian collections described below and the Nights are structured many layers deep, with stories inside stories inside stories.
