While conducting a Google search the term “digital storytelling”, I came across the Colombia Digital Storytelling Lab (DSL). This site is rich in information and media content relating to digital storytelling. In addition, the team at Columbia University in New York have done an impressive job in creating a website dedicated to the art and relevance of digital storytelling. Much of the content is very professional, including content from contributors at major publications, artists and digital production companies. Not many of the digital stories were created with consumer-grade recording and editing devices. Still, the wide variety of perspectives can offer viewers a better idea on how digital storytelling can impact societies. One such video is The Displaced, a simple yet moving digital story about refugees across the world. I recommend everyone to stop by this site.
Mark, thank you for sharing this website. It is great a resource for us, INTE 5340 students. I took a look at the website and it seems like there are a lot of opinion articles from leaders in the community. I think that the “Digital Dozen: Breakthroughs in Storytelling” article will be especially useful as we start to create digital stories ourselves. Thanks for sharing a source for ideas later in the semester!
Thanks Sara!
This is an awesome site Mark. Bookmarked and soon to be revisited! The digital dozen are amazing examples of great digital storytelling.
Thanks Alicia!
I liked this website. I watched the Bit by Bit video from it. If you have watched it, I found what the guy said about resumes to be intriguing. It seems that in this day and age it doesn’t so much matter your preparation; it matters what you can DO. It will be interesting to see how hiring processes change in order to accommodate the need for employees to do certain tasks rather than simply have “this much” schooling. Thanks for the link!
Powerful.
Thank you for searching and sharing. The prayer: for people to care for one another wholly, worldwide.
