Posted by MrsVance on June 28, 2008
EdubloggerCon Breakout session two - Digital Storytelling as THE Disruptive Change Agent for the 21st Century Learning Revolution
facilitated by Wesley Fryer
Oklahoma Voices has a focus on veterans.
Need to help teachers get practice making digital stories themselves so they can then do digital stories with others.
Could begin with videoing a speaker that is already coming into the school. Ask “Can I non-commercially record and share your story on the internet?”
Must train the students (and teachers) about how to interview - PBS has a learning package about this - DVD - Ken Burns talking about the documentary film making experience. Contact local PBS station to see if we can get more information about this.
Good resource - any book on geneology - lists of good open ended questions - how to elicit the story from the interviewee.
Share with the school board - local rotary club etc.
Seesmic (child of twitter and YouTube)
Use Creative Commons Licensing.
Big power in state-wide initiatives like Oklahoma Voices - provides credibility for project in case of adversity from administration board etc.
