Abstract
"Digital Storytelling" is the generic name for the method students use to combine still images with narration to make a digital movie. Language arts students can show various print ads and narrate the ads with an analysis and critique of the persuasive techniques used in the ads. Science students can string together images of volcanoes while recording their knowledge of how volcanoes erupt, where they tend to be located, and the consequences of an eruption. Math students can be given six images that represent the Pythagorean Theorem, place the images in an appropriate order, then narrate each image with the corresponding facet of the theorem. By writing a script, matching the script with images, and narrating the images, students are learning through multiple channels and repetition. In none of these examples is the final product a "story." Perhaps the term "Image Narration" will replace "Digital Storytelling" and begin a new type of digital video across disciplines.
