Handbook of Digital Storytelling
The Digital Commmonwealth team have been working on producing a resource which helps people develop digital storytelling skills.
The handbook is intended for use by the participants of the project, as well as anyone who has an interest in using digital media literacy skills for storytelling. It contains themes and examples of work created during the project, and suggested exercises to help develop digital storytelling skills which can be used for any context, not just the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games.
If you would like to share the results with us please get in touch, we would really like to see how you use this handbook (and showcase your Commonwealth work, which you can submit to us here)
The handbook is structured around exploring a theme (in this case the Commonwealth) and then ideas for using blogging, audio, social media and video for digital storytelling.
Each section contains:
● An overview of the aims and learning for each skill
● An introduction to the skill
● Suggestions for how to use this skill for digital storytelling
● Examples of the skill in action (from Digital Commonwealth projects)
