About this Site

The Goals of this Website
The primary goal of the Educational Uses of Digital Storytelling website is to serve as a useful resource for educators and students who are interested in how digital storytelling can be integrated into a variety of educational activities. The site was originally created in 2004 and faculty members and graduate students in the Learning, Design and Technology Program at the University of Houston College of Education continue to maintain the site and add new content. Our long term goal is to make the Educational Uses of Digital Storytelling website a comprehensive clearinghouse of information for both those just starting to use digital storytelling as well as for educators, graduate students and researchers who want to deeply explore the many facets of this educational technology tool.

It is with mixed feelings that I am announcing that I have retired from the University of Houston after more than 25 years as a faculty member. I first created the Educational Uses of Digital Storytelling website in 2004 because I was interested in how digital storytelling could be used by students and teachers and I thought that a website would be a great way to share my passion for this emerging use of technology. Over the years I have enjoyed watching digital storytelling gain greater acceptance as a valid teaching and learning tool and am gratified to see the number of visitors to this website continue to grow. So, it is with a small sense of sadness that I will no longer be involved in the Educational Uses of Digital Storytelling website.

However, it is with a great deal of pleasure that I will be handing over the website to Dr. Bulent Dogan, a former doctoral student who worked with me and who is now a Clinical Assistant Professor of Learning Design and Technology in the University of Houston's College of Education. In fact, Bulent was the first of many of my doctoral students who conducted research on the effectiveness of digital storytelling as a teaching and learning tool. Bulent is extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of digital storytelling and I am certain that he will not only maintain the website but will take it in new directions that will make it an even more useful resource for students and educators as well as anyone who is interesting in learning more about the digital storytelling process.

Sincerely,
Bernard Robin, PhD.

By the way, Bulent's contact information is shown below and I am certain that he will be delighted to hear from you.

Educational Fair Use
Although we stress to our students that they should try to create their own materials for use in their digital story projects, some of the digital stories contained on this site include still images, audio files, music and video clips that were found on the Internet using commonly available search engines, websites such as YouTube, as well as from television broadcasts, commercial VHS tapes and DVDs. We hope that these digital stories can serve as examples to educators of how the power of accessible multimedia can be used to engage students in today's K-12 and higher education classrooms and excite them about the possibility of creating their own digital stories.

Today's K-12 digital storytelling encompasses a range of tools, formats, and contexts for learning. At one time, digital storytelling was seen mostly as montages of images and videos set to music and narration. Although today's classroom and school library applications still include this form, students, teachers, and school librarians can now use an array of approaches to tell digital stories, including tweets, mini-videos, single-image stories, and "Draw My Life" whiteboard narratives. Through storytelling contexts from science content to poetry and self-reflection, digital storytelling fosters creativity, collaboration, digital literacy, and critical thinking. This form of content creation aligns with a range of cross-curricular learning objectives and school library standards.

In this edWebinar, Dr. Rebecca J. Morris shares apps and lesson ideas for integrating digital storytelling into curriculum, with a focus on science topics. Assessment of student learning and practical strategies for facilitating digital storytelling will also be discussed.

Librarians and educators are invited to watch this recorded session to learn how to integrate science with storytelling.
