Cyndy and Lester - MultiDimensional Digital Storytelling

MultiDimensional Digital Storytelling
Cyndy Everest and Lester Ray

Two factors strongly influencing student engagement
meaning
emotional hook or component

Today's Tools - texy & images
if an image is on the frame for 2 sec. it is too long
text presented differently from individual - students holding signs
no words spoken -
media comes to us with meaning

Story Spine (work from people's comfort zone as your start professional development)
Once upon a time... a lost teenager didn't know what to do with his life
But one day ... decided to take a college class to learn about photography
Because of that... he ended up getting advanced degrees
Finally ... he is a pedagogical reformer working with educators statewide

Photobooth - take four photos of yourself for the story
Open iMovie 08 and show PhotoBooth then drag your four photos into the timeline

4 sec from a piece of video is allowed for copyright

Set duration of video for image so images change with timing for video
Add narration
Make adjustments to image timing to match audio timing
