Students in Matt Hamilton's Digital Storytelling Class at Cathedral City High School recently finished shooting a sizzle reel for Healing Horses founders Marcia Levine and Gabriele Lawrence who are hoping to turn their everyday challenges into a reality television show. Levine said that Melissa Rivers is interested in producing the reality show based on the reel put together by the DATA students who started shooting footage in November and finished the editing in February of 2010.
Digital storytelling is any story told using digital media: audio, video, photography, or any combination of the three.
It is important that we teach our students the craft of telling the story no matter what digital tool we are using. That’s what I spend most of my day doing at Cathedral City High School (California) as the Coordinator and Lead Teacher in the Digital Arts Technology Academy (DATA).
Digital storytellers need to be aware of language, written and spoken, visual literacy, and
a sensitivity to the narrative.
