Stories were once the primary medium for sharing knowledge and culture. Stories captivate our senses and excite our imagination. Today’s digital technologies allow us to bring the medium back into prominence by allowing media convergence, social interaction and audience (learner) involvement in the story. Join this session to explore technologies, strategies and resources for story creation, student interaction and games in education.

- Why stories? (5 minutes) - Charles- info graphic?- share your use of stories / why haven't you used stories Let’s start by framing our understanding of “digital storytelling” by first looking at storytelling.Storytelling can be described a thousand different way and everyone you ask will be able to give you an interpretation of storytelling.Stories are about people or people like things. They are about the events and activities in which characters find themselves. And they are about mystery – we (as the viewer, or listener) wants to know what is next. Our sense of wonder needs to be fulfilled. – we’re still chasing that high…These definitions of storytelling stem far back in our history. We are used to this interpretation in text, but it can also be done in other forms of media as well.
- In the last decade or so we’ve seen a shift in how storytelling is used in the classroom.In the past (standard column) we saw stories being used in a narrow focus. It was thought that storytelling was a lightweight activity and not a real learning tool.But today we’ve seen that when used in a thoughtful, reflective and formalized way, stories support student learning by: ENGAGINGStorytelling is an ideal teaching and learning tool. It gives serious weight to the need for students to make sense of their experiences. They use their own cultural perception to develop peer relationships and learn from others. They get to collaboratively reflect on their personal world views, through the eyes of others.But shifting from an entertainment or educator-controlled activity to a robust mode of student inquiry didn’t just happen over night. A number of factors came together. Various approaches were for classroom integration were developed, and of course technology and access to technology played a key role in creating this level of engagement.
- Okay, that was the story side of digital storytelling, what about the digital side.Well, every time our society comes up with a new technology, we figure out ways to tell stories with it. Books, records, radio, television, and now our digital devices (computers, smartphones, the internet).In the late 80s we saw hyperlinks married with music, images, and simple videos weaved into self-guided narratives. This brought the idea of interactivity to storytelling, it was truly the bases for what we call digital storytelling today. Web 1.0 (simple, statically linked pages) became Web 2.0 – where dynamic, user-generated content became the norm and behind it we saw the growth of social networking tools.

- Games / Augmented Reality / ARG (25 minutes) - CharlesAn ARG is a game which deliberately blurs the line between the game and the real world. Players investigate the world of the game using the same tools with which they interact with the real world such as websites, email, telephone conversations and even in-person discussions with actors playing game characters.Evoke is a ten-week, free to play, crash course in changing the world.The goal of the social network game is to help empower people all over the world to come up with creative solutions to our most urgent social problems.Beast: One of the earlier examples of ARGs was from the 2001 movie AI. Jeanine Salla was listed on a movie poster and the trailer as a Sentient Machine Therapist.Searching the name would lead you to a website with a phone number and an email address. Following deeper into the rabbit hole would lead you to join in on a 12 week investigation of a murder. Over the course of the three months the Beast went on, it incorporated thirty diverse in-game websites, had live phone conversations with a game character and participated in Anti-Robot Militia rallies in New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles.Dark Knight: Comic-con 2007 Calling the number prompted a recording of a whimpering man being forced to read instructions for what came next: a scavenger hunt. The fans at Comic-Con were then painted with Joker makeup and sent off to find clues throughout San Diego, having to cooperate with those online in order to solve additional puzzles at the website.Find the lost Ring: was a huge 2008 Olympic themed ARG. It took place across six continents, in seven languages, and running for six months (29 February - 24 August 2008). It began with six amnesiac athletes with strange tattoos, and culminated in the "revival" of a fictional Ancient Olympic sport- which the narrative described as having disappeared 2000 years ago before the events of the game.I Love Bees was an alternate reality game (ARG) that served as both a real-world experience and viral marketing campaign for the release of developer Bungie's 2004 video game Halo 2. Players were introduced to the game if they noticed something strange about the web page hosting the Halo 2 trailer. This led them to a bee enthusiasts site, a malicious computer AI, I Love Trees, The Robots are Eating the Building,The Dragon Collective Trilogy: a Chinese language learning ARG for 6-9 graders. Player embark on three missions involving language sounds, culture and history, and decoding Chinese characters.
