Digital Storytelling
Alan Howe from the University of Gloucester specialises in Digital Storytelling and, as part of the ELTE project, ran a workshop for us in November 2007.
Digital Storytelling is a method that allows other students to comment on stories by peers and takes learning beyond simply telling a story to having to reflect more deeply upon its meaning and lessons to be learnt from the experiences. This enhances the reflection through storytelling from considering what has happened, to what could be done differently and how changes could be implemented in the future. It gives students a ‘voice’ and encourages them to tell their stories in their own language and from their own perspective. It is also an active learning process that builds on the notion that reflection can be enhanced when others are involved.
This video clip is provided in WMV (Windows Media Video) format and will play in recent versions of Windows. Mac OS X users can download Flip4Mac to enable WMV playback from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx.
