Examining the What, the Why and the How of Digital
Storytelling in EFL Teaching.
Slide 1
DIGITAL STORYTELLING
IN 10 EASY STEPS
George Drivas - Chryssanthe Sotiriou
Digital Storytelling is the modern
version of the age-old art of
storytelling
Slide 2
From oral storytelling to
CNN and the Internet…
Storytelling is also an ancient form
of teaching.
Storytelling, no matter in what form or media, is a powerful method to communicate knowledge,
culture, perspectives and points of view. Before reading and writing, oral storytelling was the only
means wisdom and knowledge were communicated.
Slide 3
Nowadays, technology provides us
with new possibilities to exploit
this ancient teaching method
We use storytelling in order to teach others about our knowledge, culture and beliefs.
Digital storytelling gives us the ability to reach and disseminate our stories further than ever before.
We tell stories to organize experience into a meaningful whole that can be shared with others.
Digital Storytelling gives students confidence while it develops fundamental intellectual skills.
Slide 4
What Is Digital Storytelling?
Telling a story by bringing together some
mixture of digitalgraphics, text, recorded
audio narration, video and music to present
information on a specific topic
Many different definitions of
Digital Storytelling exist
Common core: the art of telling stories with a variety of digital media, such as audio, and video.
Similarities with traditional storytelling: a chosen theme and a particular viewpoint.
Differences from traditional storytelling: just a few minutes long and have a variety of uses and
methods of broadcast.
Slide 5
Slide 6
The Virus
Stories that have been passed
down through generations, allow
voices from the past to interact
with voices from the present.
Rehashing and remaking old
stories by adding new twists and
perspectives allow for multiple
interpretations of storylines.
Digital Storytelling is a tool that
can support teaching and learning
in any subject area.
Slide 7
Artifacts #1: Knowledge
Write
Visualize
Create
Communicate
Our experiences, our knowledge
and our thinking are quite often
organized in story form.
Knowledge: Write, Revise,
Visualize, Create, Locate,
Communicate, Extend
Slide 8
Artifacts #2: Competences
Take Risks
Collaborate
Manage
Prioritize
A competency is a set of defined
behaviors when tackling a
Learning task.
Slide 9
Artifacts #3: Skills
Communicate in new ways
Use real world tools
Create personal meaning
Digital Stories create a conduit
between teaching and integrating
technology.
ICT tools allow us to connect, communicate and collaborate easily with others around the world.
1. We connect emotionally with people and events in stories and we relate them to experiences in
our own lives.
2. Stories let us communicate our perspective and perception as well as our understanding of the
world around us.
3. Stories are usually a collaborative effort tales, characters, their actions and points of view
Slide 10
The Protection
The Seven Elements of Digital
Storytelling (adapted from
http://digitalstorytelling.coe.uh.e
du/page.cfm?id=27&cid=27)
Center for Digital Storytelling’s Seven Elements of Digital Storytelling
1. Point of view What is the main point of the story and what is the perspective of the author?
2. A dramatic question A key question that keeps the viewer’s attention and will be answered by the
end of the story.
3. Emotional content Serious issues that come alive in a personal and powerful way and connects the
story to the audience.
4. The gift of your voice A way to personalize the story to help the audience understand the context.
5. The power of the soundtrack Music or other sounds that support and embellish the storyline.
6. Economy Using just enough content to tell the story without overloading the viewer.
7. Pacing The rhythm of the story and how slowly or quickly it progresses.
Slide 11
Inside Your Story
Identity
Emotions
Opinions
Experiences
The perspective: Identity, Culture,
Emotions, Opinions, Facts, Experiences,
Meaning
 Told in first person
 Using own voice to narrate the tale
 You share who you are, what you
felt, and what the event or situation
means to you
 The story is shared through the
heart NOT the head.
Slide 12
Lessons Learned
Expectations
Meaning
Impact
Understanding
Connection
Key words: Expectations, Meaning,
Impact, Understanding, Connection
 Each story expresses a personal
meaning or insight.
 Each story has a point to make.
 Each story engages and involves the
listener
Slide 13
Developing Craftsmanship
Think communication
not decoration
A good Digital Story incorporates
technology in meaningful ways, not for
the sake of technology.
It demonstrates expertise in sharing and
creating meaning with images, sound,
voice, color, and special effects
All digital elements are selected to enhance the meaning of the tale rather than provide an interesting
package that distracts from what is being presented.
Good craftsmanship combines media elements creatively to convey significant meaning rather than
decoration of the story.
Slide 14
Creative Tension
Intrigue
Twist
Surprise
Resolve
Whenever we are told a story we
enjoy a surprise turn-of-events as
long as the storyline is coherent.
The tension of an unresolved or curious situation engages and holds the viewer until the story reaches
a memorable ending.
Pacing is an invisible part of sustaining story tension. It uses starts, stops and pauses letting us wonder
what will happen next and how will it be resolved.
Slide 15
Economizing
Clear goal
Minimum steps
Effective tools
One point to make
Length: 3-5 minutes
Script: no more than one (1) page
No of Words: Maximum five
hundred (500) words.
Slide 16
Showing, Not Telling
context
information
emotions
 Show context,
 Create setting,
 Provide information,
 Create emotions
Both images and sound, not just words, are used to provide vivid details, to reveal feelings, to offer
information
Both words and media are needed to reveal details rather than simply naming or stating what already
exists or the viewer knows about.
Slide 17
The Cure
Slide 18
1: What do you want to share?
Memorial stories
Travel stories
Accomplishment stories
Discovery stories.
 Think small.
 Focus.
 Tell a personal tale.
 Reveal a small truth.
Character stories center on a person who's touched you in a deep way.
Memorial stories center o a person who left a lasting impression.
Travel stories — stories about a personal journey or passage
Accomplishment stories about achieving a goal,
The story about a place in your life.
The story about what I do. People find value in their work, hobbies, or social commitments
Recovery stories. Sharing the experience challenge, or personal obstacle
Love stories.
Discovery stories. Stories about how we uncovered a truth or learned how to do something.
Slide 19
2: What do I need?
Memories.
photos,
film,
flyers
Use what you have!
Start collecting memories.
The most powerful materials are
often discovered during a search
in forgotten files or boxes.
Start gathering anything that holds emotional value: photos, video, flyers, etc.
Don't think you have to create a story from scratch. You can always add to it if needed.
Older materials usually carry more of an emotional impact than new custom made materials.
Slide 20
3: What is your story?
Write your script
Be concise.
Be real.
Be original.
Get feedback.
The story must be told from your
point of view.
• Get the main elements of your story down on paper.
• See how much you can convey with a few words and some key images.
• You need to reach an emotional depth.
• All stories have a structure: a beginning, middle and end.
• The rhythm and tempo of a story is what maintains the audience interest.
• All storytellers have their own characteristic style of storytelling. Find yours.
• Read your script to a friend and ask for comments, observe their reactions.
Slide 21
4: What hardware do I need?
A tablet or laptop.
Software
A scanner
A recorder
A microphone
Headphones
You may need certain pieces of
equipment depending on your
goal.
A desktop computer or laptop. Video software. A scanner, if you want to include traditional photos in
your story. A recording device: for video, for audio, a portable digital recorder.
A handheld microphone for interviews. Headphones.
Slide 22
5: How do I plan my story
Use a storyboard.
Use index cards
15 images & 2’ of video.
6’’ on each image
Professional movie makers use
storyboards to plan out the
sequences of events that they
would like to tell.
This is where you'll place your
visual materials and your
narrative.
 Arrange your visuals in sequence.
 Use an index card beneath each visual to write a comment about the picture.
 You do not need to write the full narrative yet.
 Make certain that the segments (image and narrative) are equally proportioned to each other.
 Do not rush through segments. Give them time to make an impact.
You may want to look for examples of digital stories at video sharing sites. i.e., YouTube. Look for
different styles and approaches. Which one suits your style or your goal best?
Slide 23
6: How do I use images?
Scan in the same format
Save into a single folder
Crop accordingly
Use actual size
Use proper dimensions.
Prepare your material as best as
you can. Time spent now is time
saved later.
Prepare your images in a format that is compatible with your software.
Pay attention to size and resolution.
Practice with cropping images for maximum effect.
Avoid distorting the pictures or video because they may look strange in the final product.
Save the original files separately to avoid any accidents.
Slide 24
7: How do I record the narration
Speak slowly
Use a conversational voice
Practice before recording
Present live
Your laptop, tablet or phone is
probably good enough for
recording your narration.
Speak slowly and clearly in a
conversational voice.
Don't read from a script.
Slide 25
8: What music do I use?
Consider
• rhythm
• pace
• instrumental pieces
• snippets of shows
• copyright
Most of us have our favourite
music running in our heads.
Choose the one that reflects the
mood of the story you want to
convey.
Pay special attention to copyright, especially if you want to publish your work on the web. It makes no
difference that you are not making money out of your story. Consult your source for copyright
restrictions on a particular audio or video file.
Slide 26
9: When is my story ready?
Folder 
Storyboard 
Software 
Timeline 
Transitions 
Visuals 
Narration 
Music 
Make sure you have all the
elements of your story in the right
place and the right format.
 This means images, video, audio, and music file.
 Check the format and check that they are copies: the originals are safely away.
 Next, import all your material into your software.
 This is your first draft. It gives you an overview of your project.
 Next, add text (opening and closing titles, comments, descriptions) as planned.
 Use a font that's easy to read in a colour that contrasts well with the background.
 Add transitions the narrative and music making certain that they are synchronized.
Slide 27
10: How do I Share my Story?
• SlideShare
• Dropbox
• You Tube
• Facebook
• Pinterest
• E-mail
There are a number of public sites
that you may want to use to share
your story.
Slide 28
10: What content?

Digital storytelling in efl teaching

  • 1. Examining the What, the Why and the How of Digital Storytelling in EFL Teaching. Slide 1 DIGITAL STORYTELLING IN 10 EASY STEPS George Drivas - Chryssanthe Sotiriou Digital Storytelling is the modern version of the age-old art of storytelling Slide 2 From oral storytelling to CNN and the Internet… Storytelling is also an ancient form of teaching. Storytelling, no matter in what form or media, is a powerful method to communicate knowledge, culture, perspectives and points of view. Before reading and writing, oral storytelling was the only means wisdom and knowledge were communicated. Slide 3 Nowadays, technology provides us with new possibilities to exploit this ancient teaching method We use storytelling in order to teach others about our knowledge, culture and beliefs. Digital storytelling gives us the ability to reach and disseminate our stories further than ever before. We tell stories to organize experience into a meaningful whole that can be shared with others. Digital Storytelling gives students confidence while it develops fundamental intellectual skills.
  • 2. Slide 4 What Is Digital Storytelling? Telling a story by bringing together some mixture of digitalgraphics, text, recorded audio narration, video and music to present information on a specific topic Many different definitions of Digital Storytelling exist Common core: the art of telling stories with a variety of digital media, such as audio, and video. Similarities with traditional storytelling: a chosen theme and a particular viewpoint. Differences from traditional storytelling: just a few minutes long and have a variety of uses and methods of broadcast. Slide 5 Slide 6 The Virus Stories that have been passed down through generations, allow voices from the past to interact with voices from the present. Rehashing and remaking old stories by adding new twists and perspectives allow for multiple interpretations of storylines. Digital Storytelling is a tool that can support teaching and learning in any subject area. Slide 7 Artifacts #1: Knowledge Write Visualize Create Communicate Our experiences, our knowledge and our thinking are quite often organized in story form. Knowledge: Write, Revise, Visualize, Create, Locate, Communicate, Extend
  • 3. Slide 8 Artifacts #2: Competences Take Risks Collaborate Manage Prioritize A competency is a set of defined behaviors when tackling a Learning task. Slide 9 Artifacts #3: Skills Communicate in new ways Use real world tools Create personal meaning Digital Stories create a conduit between teaching and integrating technology. ICT tools allow us to connect, communicate and collaborate easily with others around the world. 1. We connect emotionally with people and events in stories and we relate them to experiences in our own lives. 2. Stories let us communicate our perspective and perception as well as our understanding of the world around us. 3. Stories are usually a collaborative effort tales, characters, their actions and points of view Slide 10 The Protection The Seven Elements of Digital Storytelling (adapted from http://digitalstorytelling.coe.uh.e du/page.cfm?id=27&cid=27) Center for Digital Storytelling’s Seven Elements of Digital Storytelling 1. Point of view What is the main point of the story and what is the perspective of the author? 2. A dramatic question A key question that keeps the viewer’s attention and will be answered by the end of the story. 3. Emotional content Serious issues that come alive in a personal and powerful way and connects the story to the audience. 4. The gift of your voice A way to personalize the story to help the audience understand the context. 5. The power of the soundtrack Music or other sounds that support and embellish the storyline. 6. Economy Using just enough content to tell the story without overloading the viewer. 7. Pacing The rhythm of the story and how slowly or quickly it progresses.
  • 4. Slide 11 Inside Your Story Identity Emotions Opinions Experiences The perspective: Identity, Culture, Emotions, Opinions, Facts, Experiences, Meaning  Told in first person  Using own voice to narrate the tale  You share who you are, what you felt, and what the event or situation means to you  The story is shared through the heart NOT the head. Slide 12 Lessons Learned Expectations Meaning Impact Understanding Connection Key words: Expectations, Meaning, Impact, Understanding, Connection  Each story expresses a personal meaning or insight.  Each story has a point to make.  Each story engages and involves the listener Slide 13 Developing Craftsmanship Think communication not decoration A good Digital Story incorporates technology in meaningful ways, not for the sake of technology. It demonstrates expertise in sharing and creating meaning with images, sound, voice, color, and special effects All digital elements are selected to enhance the meaning of the tale rather than provide an interesting package that distracts from what is being presented. Good craftsmanship combines media elements creatively to convey significant meaning rather than decoration of the story. Slide 14 Creative Tension Intrigue Twist Surprise Resolve Whenever we are told a story we enjoy a surprise turn-of-events as long as the storyline is coherent. The tension of an unresolved or curious situation engages and holds the viewer until the story reaches a memorable ending. Pacing is an invisible part of sustaining story tension. It uses starts, stops and pauses letting us wonder what will happen next and how will it be resolved.
  • 5. Slide 15 Economizing Clear goal Minimum steps Effective tools One point to make Length: 3-5 minutes Script: no more than one (1) page No of Words: Maximum five hundred (500) words. Slide 16 Showing, Not Telling context information emotions  Show context,  Create setting,  Provide information,  Create emotions Both images and sound, not just words, are used to provide vivid details, to reveal feelings, to offer information Both words and media are needed to reveal details rather than simply naming or stating what already exists or the viewer knows about. Slide 17 The Cure Slide 18 1: What do you want to share? Memorial stories Travel stories Accomplishment stories Discovery stories.  Think small.  Focus.  Tell a personal tale.  Reveal a small truth.
  • 6. Character stories center on a person who's touched you in a deep way. Memorial stories center o a person who left a lasting impression. Travel stories — stories about a personal journey or passage Accomplishment stories about achieving a goal, The story about a place in your life. The story about what I do. People find value in their work, hobbies, or social commitments Recovery stories. Sharing the experience challenge, or personal obstacle Love stories. Discovery stories. Stories about how we uncovered a truth or learned how to do something. Slide 19 2: What do I need? Memories. photos, film, flyers Use what you have! Start collecting memories. The most powerful materials are often discovered during a search in forgotten files or boxes. Start gathering anything that holds emotional value: photos, video, flyers, etc. Don't think you have to create a story from scratch. You can always add to it if needed. Older materials usually carry more of an emotional impact than new custom made materials. Slide 20 3: What is your story? Write your script Be concise. Be real. Be original. Get feedback. The story must be told from your point of view. • Get the main elements of your story down on paper. • See how much you can convey with a few words and some key images. • You need to reach an emotional depth. • All stories have a structure: a beginning, middle and end. • The rhythm and tempo of a story is what maintains the audience interest. • All storytellers have their own characteristic style of storytelling. Find yours. • Read your script to a friend and ask for comments, observe their reactions.
  • 7. Slide 21 4: What hardware do I need? A tablet or laptop. Software A scanner A recorder A microphone Headphones You may need certain pieces of equipment depending on your goal. A desktop computer or laptop. Video software. A scanner, if you want to include traditional photos in your story. A recording device: for video, for audio, a portable digital recorder. A handheld microphone for interviews. Headphones. Slide 22 5: How do I plan my story Use a storyboard. Use index cards 15 images & 2’ of video. 6’’ on each image Professional movie makers use storyboards to plan out the sequences of events that they would like to tell. This is where you'll place your visual materials and your narrative.  Arrange your visuals in sequence.  Use an index card beneath each visual to write a comment about the picture.  You do not need to write the full narrative yet.  Make certain that the segments (image and narrative) are equally proportioned to each other.  Do not rush through segments. Give them time to make an impact. You may want to look for examples of digital stories at video sharing sites. i.e., YouTube. Look for different styles and approaches. Which one suits your style or your goal best? Slide 23 6: How do I use images? Scan in the same format Save into a single folder Crop accordingly Use actual size Use proper dimensions. Prepare your material as best as you can. Time spent now is time saved later. Prepare your images in a format that is compatible with your software. Pay attention to size and resolution. Practice with cropping images for maximum effect. Avoid distorting the pictures or video because they may look strange in the final product. Save the original files separately to avoid any accidents.
  • 8. Slide 24 7: How do I record the narration Speak slowly Use a conversational voice Practice before recording Present live Your laptop, tablet or phone is probably good enough for recording your narration. Speak slowly and clearly in a conversational voice. Don't read from a script. Slide 25 8: What music do I use? Consider • rhythm • pace • instrumental pieces • snippets of shows • copyright Most of us have our favourite music running in our heads. Choose the one that reflects the mood of the story you want to convey. Pay special attention to copyright, especially if you want to publish your work on the web. It makes no difference that you are not making money out of your story. Consult your source for copyright restrictions on a particular audio or video file. Slide 26 9: When is my story ready? Folder  Storyboard  Software  Timeline  Transitions  Visuals  Narration  Music  Make sure you have all the elements of your story in the right place and the right format.  This means images, video, audio, and music file.  Check the format and check that they are copies: the originals are safely away.  Next, import all your material into your software.  This is your first draft. It gives you an overview of your project.  Next, add text (opening and closing titles, comments, descriptions) as planned.  Use a font that's easy to read in a colour that contrasts well with the background.  Add transitions the narrative and music making certain that they are synchronized.
  • 9. Slide 27 10: How do I Share my Story? • SlideShare • Dropbox • You Tube • Facebook • Pinterest • E-mail There are a number of public sites that you may want to use to share your story. Slide 28 10: What content? Slide 29 The Side-effects Why?  Encourages research  Fosters critical thinking skills  Encourages students become better writers.  Gives students a voice.  Tells a personal narrative.  Helps students retain knowledge longer.  Enhances learning by encouraging effective communication.  Encourages creativity. “Below are brief definition excerpts from Chapter 4 — "Storying Around for 21st Century Skills" — of DigiTales: the Art of Telling Digital Stories.
