Writing Processes of Digital Storytelling

Here is the workshop that I co-presented at the National Writing Project Annual Meeting a few weeks ago in San Antonio. I had a wonderful co-facilitator in Pen Campbell and the discussions were just wonderful, even in a large cavernous room with about 50 people.

Our focus was on the writing element of digital stories, but we also had long discussion on the elements of digital stories. I’ve included the podcasts of the session, if you are interested, and the website that was the heart of this session is a collaboration between NWP and Pearson Foundation that Pen and I were part of. You can view the website (still in beta) here. This presentation is also now part of my own collection of workshops around writing and technology.

Also, the short video examples that we shared are not in this presentation. Sorry.

Part 1(26 mb)
Part 2 (28 mb)

Peace (in sharing),

I am having with the Beta version, I think but I am so happy to have this resource. It’s of great interest to me and my work, with teachers of writing as well. They are very reluctant revisers of their digital stories.

Thank you for sharing this. I have been given the task of creating a presentation on digital storytelling to a group of educators with little technological practice in their teaching. Presenting the notion that writing for an authentic audience to create student engagement is definitely at the heart and soul of this art form. Wish me luck!

Hey Kevin, I looked at the slideshow of your presentation and will watch the whole thing later. (I’ve been blog-reading for 2 hours now and the fire is going out!) Have you seen this site?

I’m going to try the 60 second story with one of my classes. (Check out his story, “Dominoe” — it’s awesome!) Thanks for the comment on slowblogging. Clay at Beyond School is ripping it up with that topic. Quite interesting…
Oh yeah, the fire! ~T-Dawg

The post I would like to share today is about how smoothly everything went with our digital storytelling project (see my first and second posts about the project). I’d like to say how wonderfully productive the day was, and how prepared I was for anything that might happen. I can’t do that. There were good More >

NWP Makes Gets a Plug

Dale Doughtery, of Make Magazine, wrote a nice piece about the National Writing Project’s Make session that took place at the NWP Annual Meeting. I was one of the presenters, doing a bit on stopmotion animation. The session represented an ongoing relationship between NWP and Make Magazine around informational, expository writing. As Dale writes: When More >

NWP Survives

Yesterday, many of us in the National Writing Project were keeping careful tabs (no doubt, peeping into the news during the day) to follow the fate of a US Senator proposal to eliminate “earmarks” in the federal budget. The amendment by Sen. Coburn would have effectively gutted the NWP and some other educational groups whose More >

Lend Me Your Ear(mark): NWP in Trouble Again

about 1 year ago - 1 comment

When I think of “earmarks,” I think of fluff — of bridges to nowhere and multimillion dollar research centers that have absurd missions, of things that don’t necessarily impact my life. When first started to hear about the push to end earmarks, I figured: I can live with that. It might mean one less terminal, More >

NWP Funding: Sen. Scott Brown responds …

I guess I wasn’t expecting too much from my Senator when I sent him a letter to please lobby on my behalf for continued federal funding for the National Writing Project. Right now, there is no direct funding for NWP in President Obama’s educational plan (see more details). I know Sen. Scott Brown is a More >
