The Celebration of Digital Storytelling is a series of multimedia presentations featuring snapshots in the lives of their authors: 5-10 minute video essays guaranteed to move, inform, and enrich their viewers. Not all 18 students in this online course will be able to participate in this event, but a great many will. Join us! The projects featured were created by students in Shannon Carter’s graduate-level course English 697: Digital Storytelling, a workshop in the history and methods of digital storytelling. Objectives included understanding the fundamentals of dynamic digital storytelling, from seeing the story to assembling and sharing it. Students will demonstrate that understanding by assembling and sharing their own, original examples of digital storytelling.
