About
Digital Storytelling is the modern expression of the ancient art of storytelling. Digital stories derive their power by weaving images, music, narrative and voice together, thereby giving deep dimension and vivid color to characters, situations, experiences, and insights.
Learn the tools, processes, and instructional support options available to create and publish digital media presentations. We will review past academic podcasts, video essays, and multimedia projects created at Evergreen, the current state of the technology as well as explore possible strategies for integrating into these presentation methods into the curriculum.
