Hi everyone and welcome to our workshop: Sharing to reflect: Reflecting to share. The purpose of our presentation is to introduce you to the concept of Digital Storytelling and how we see it used in education to encourage learner engagement and reflective practice. We will be asking you to do some activities and will share some of the DST work we have done or plan to do. Thank you
General introductions. Cheryl first. How we started working together (invite from Cheryl) Justine next. Whanaungatanga Who are you?? (ask the audience) What is their work and why did they choose this workshop?
What do you know about DST? - talk to your neighbour about what you know about DST already.
Cheryl DST ‘began’ around 1993 – out of the Center for Digital Storytelling – with Dana Atcheley and Joe Lambert as key people. While Atcheley died in 2000 Joe Lambert continues to visit NZ and teach and inspire around the world. A famous project was capture wales in which Daniel Meadows travelled around wales to collect stories. Hear the wonderful accents.
These people tell us that stories are culturally based, help bridge gaps, enable reflection Permeate our lives informally as gossip/little narratives, grand narratives and formally as reports, assessments and constructed retelling (plays/movies/counselling/education) mostly about storytelling in a formal situation and a few about reflection
