Powerful Tools for Teaching and Learning: Digital Storytelling introduces educators to digital storytelling and explores ways to use digital stories to enhance students’ learning experiences. The course is designed to be comprehensive yet fundamental. By comprehensive we mean that the course provides a solid foundation for all of the components of a digital story and illustrates these components with tutorials, example stories, and links to additional readings. The course also provides a hands-on opportunity for learners to create their own digital stories. The course is fundamental because it covers the basic process of creating a digital story starting with just a simple script and as little as one image. This course is intended for K-12 teachers in all disciplines, although it is open to anyone with an interest in digital storytelling. Course participants will use WeVideo (https://www.wevideo.com/), a free web-based video editing program, to create a digital story that could be shared both online and with students in the classroom. Teachers in the state of Texas may be eligible to receive Continuing Professional Education units if they complete the major requirements of the course.

WEEK 2: Writing an Effective Script and Creating a Storyboard

In Week 2, we will focus on scriptwriting, storyboarding, and Creative Commons. We will begin by discussing the steps in developing and writing a script for the digital story you will create in this course.We will explore the basic elements of the script,such as introduction, character development, tension and resolution that are necessary in developing a script. Then, we will also examine the importance of selecting appropriate images and creating a storyboard. In Week 2, you will learn not only the functions and the sequences of a storyboard, but also the most useful ways to locate images, such as using photos taken with a digital camera and images downloaded from the internet based on the size, quality, type and usage rights. A step-by-step approach will be used to illustrate how these images can support your own script as a part of creating a digital story. By the end of this week, you will begin to understand the important steps and elements of scriptwriting, and be able to envision your story's script in a visually interesting storyboard.

In this video, we will discuss Creative Commons,

a non-profit organization that helps people find, use, and

share creative material on the web, such as images and music.

As you begin working on the design and development of the digital story you plan

to create, you will need to think about the types of images and other media that

will be included in your digital story, as well as in your story board.

One of the best ways to search for images on the web is by using Google.

However, many of the images you will find on Google may be protected by copyright.

And if so, they should not be used by students and educators.

Some images that do not violate copyright are available on the web.

But in many cases they must be purchased and

most schools do not have funds for this.

The good news is that the Creative Commons works are free to use and share,

as long as you've follow the specific guidelines for their use.

Creative Commons uses four major types of licenses that allow people to

use works for free under certain circumstances.

The first type of license is called attribution, and

it is designated by the word by, which means you can use the work

free of charge if credit is given to the person that created the work, and

you indicate if you made any changes to the original work.

This is the most open and non-restrictive type of Creative Commons license.

Another type of Creative Commons license adds the letters SA,

which stands for Share Alike, with this type of license,

you still must give credit to the creator of the work, but you also must agree

that your use of the work can be shared by others under the exact same conditions.

So if you use a work with a BY and SA designation you must agree that anyone may

take your use of the work and make changes to it as long as they give you credit.

The third type of Creative Commons license adds the letters ND,

which stand for no derivatives.

This designation still allows you to use the work,

as long as you give credit to the creator of the work.

However, you are not allowed to make any changes or

derivative versions of the work.

If you plan to crop an image for example, or change the brightness then works

with the ND designation, are not a good choice, because this is not allowed.

The designation, NC, stands for

non-commercial works, which are defined by Creative Commons,

as works that may not be used for commercial advantage or monetary gain.

Although there is some ambiguity in what is meant by the terms commercial and

non-commercial.

In general, you may use works with the NC designation for

any purposes where money is not charged to use the work.
