Digital Storey Telling

March 24th, 2006

I am very interested in podcasting and digital storey telling and using it in our Community Resource & Learning Room programs. As our Program runs out of a large High School in Newmarket Ontario, just north of Toronto, I can see how literacy goals for the students and youth in the community could really be improved using this tool.

I’m going to post some resources that I will use and perhaps others can use if interested.

My first resource comes from TechLearning blog. This writer talks about the benefits of digital storey telling for improving student literacy and reaching young people who have plenty to say, but are often left out of the experience of expressing themselves to a public audience.

From the cogdog wiki authored by Alan Levine, comes a very clear list of steps to understanding and making podcasts. He has another post on his blog that covers a pretty long list of social software tools and basic explanations.

The Social Non Profit – My Lens

A social non profit is attuned, responsive and adaptive to the complex factors affecting its constituents and communities. In a social non profit there is an alignment between staff, services, governance systems and online communications. Social non profits value learning and innovation and believe in working smarter by using social tech tools to enhance communication, collaboration and learning amongst staff, volunteers, partners and service users. These organizations believe that strategic use of social media empowers staff, improves services and strengthens governance practices.
