__Helen's Main Ideas- New ideas and approaches for integrating digital storytelling into learning__

-The power of digital storytelling in ePortfolios
 * Why?**

-Software and tools -Sequence of activities
 * How?**


 * Process-**
 * 1-4 Minutes
 * First person narrative
 * Told in __own__ voice
 * Illustrated with still images
 * (Optional) Music track to add emotional tone
 * Script- Record- Collect images- Combine- Edit- Export

1. Overall purpose ( e.g. Sara's Story- about a family) 2. Narrator's Point of View; Emotional Content (e.g. I Am From...) possibly reinforced by music and repetitive effects 3. Dramatic Question/s (I Am From... James' story) such as Where Am I From? Effective use of metaphor 4. Choice of Content (I Am... Jan's story illustrated with his own art and pictures) Sense of personality and individuality 5. Clarity of voice (Helen's grand-daughter's story about her soccer) 6. Pacing of narrative 7. Meaningful soundtrack (Creative Commons/ Royalty Free/ Sound Effects/ Write your own!) 8. Quality Images (Creative Commons/ Royalty Free/ Labelled for 're-use'/ Use your own/ Flickr) 9. Economy of Story Detail (KISS, Focus on essential elements, Leave out uneccesary details)
 * Elements of a Digital Story-**


 * (More than) A Dozen Purposes for a Digital Story-**
 * Introduction of self
 * Voice and personality (including conducting interviews for younger/ less able students)
 * Legacy (Usually told about a person or place, Family Stories)
 * Biography (Provides facts about a life- wider or academic life)
 * Memoir (More told __about__ another person, generally longer than a typical digital story)
 * Reflection-Transition (Making sense of changes, reflecting about major changes- Norm's story/ Deana's story)
 * Reflection- Decision
 * Reflection- Retrospective (e.g. Good Morning, Sunshines!)
 * Benchmarking Development
 * Change Over Time (Maintain a collection of work, recognise when change has occurred, reflect on the changes, review the __process__)
 * Evidence of Collaboration (Helps explain the process/ project)
 * Documentary (Replacing a Ppt/ Keynote, often fact-based story)
 * Record of experience (Often no concrete product, used to reflect on experience) e.g. Chevak
 * Oral Language (Learning to speak, demonstrating growth)
 * Rich Digital Artifacts (Showcasing students' work of a digital nature) e.g. Naya's Art Portfolio
 * Voice = Authenticity**
