I’ve been moving “Sound Stories” into my writing classroom the past two weeks, teaching students how to write a story that incorporates sound effects/audio as part of storytelling, and then diving into Garageband to “compose” a piece with sounds embedded into the narration.
I am writing a longer piece about the teaching of “sound stories” in the classroom (an idea borrowed heavily from play with DS106, by the way) for Middleweb, but I want to share out bits as part of Digital Writing Month‘s exploration into audio.
This is the story I created to share with students as a mentor text of sorts. Tomorrow, I will share out some collaborative sound stories that we built together as classes, and then later this week, I will share out a collection of sound stories by students.
Peace (in the sounds of the world),

I do not know how you get such quality work and incorporate such different technologies. My kids get so crazy when I introduce new things that it can be hard to reign them in to get stuff accomplished. These are great.
It’s not always easy … particularly the “ending point.” I sometimes have to say (as I will today, probably): this is it. You’re done or not done. Now, reflect on experience (which is the main learning point anyway).

Can you come to my class next week and teach us (me included) how to do this? You can? Thanks! See you then!
🙂
Maybe I need to make a screencast tutorial …. let me think if I can find time to do that this week …..
So very cool – I do hope you find the time to make that tutorial, as I would love to try this.
