Teaching with Digital Storytelling

Last fall we worked with faculty from across campus on a Digital Storytelling pilot. We set out to take the essential elements of the 3-day workshops the Center for Digital Storytelling hosted on our campus last summer and bring them to classes of 20-30.

Here are a few reflections from faculty teaching classes in Math, Psychology, and Cornerstone.

Mitzi Adams – Math Education

Cherisse Flanagan – Psychology

Stephen Johnson – Honors Cornerstone

Jennifer Shewmaker – Psychology 

It’s been personally rewarding to work with these faculty members and so many others, creating a community that honors the power of story to shape our communities—personal and professional. While I’m thinking about it, here is my own digital story from our very first workshop last May.
