Download or read book Student generated Digital Media in Science Education written by Garry Hoban and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-07-03 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This timely and innovative book encourages us to ‘flip the classroom’ and empower our students to become content creators. Through creating digital media, they will not only improve their communication skills, but also gain a deeper understanding of core scientific concepts. This book will inspire science academics and science teacher educators to design learning experiences that allow students to take control of their own learning, to generate media that will stimulate them to engage with, learn about, and become effective communicators of science." Professors Susan Jones and Brian F. Yates, Australian Learning and Teaching Council Discipline Scholars for Science "Represents a giant leap forward in our understanding of how digital media can enrich not only the learning of science but also the professional learning of science teachers." Professor Tom Russell, Queen’s University, Ontario, Canada "This excellent edited collection brings together authors at the forefront of promoting media creation in science by children and young people. New media of all kinds are the most culturally significant forms in the lives of learners and the work in this book shows how they can move between home and school and provide new contexts for learning as well as an understanding of key concepts." Dr John Potter, London Knowledge Lab, Dept. of Culture, Communication and Media, University College London, UK Student-generated Digital Media in Science Education supports secondary school teachers, lecturers in universities and teacher educators in improving engagement and understanding in science by helping students unleash their enthusiasm for creating media within the science classroom. Written by pioneers who have been developing their ideas in students’ media making over the last 10 years, it provides a theoretical background, case studies, and a wide range of assignments and assessment tasks designed to address the vital issue of disengagement amongst science learners. It showcases opportunities for learners to use the tools that they already own to design, make and explain science content with five digital media forms that build upon each other— podcasts, digital stories, slowmation, video and blended media. Each chapter provides advice for implementation and evidence of engagement as learners use digital tools to learn science content, develop communication skills, and create science explanations. A student team’s music video animation of the Krebs cycle, a podcast on chemical reactions presented as commentary on a boxing match, a wiki page on an entry in the periodic table of elements, and an animation on vitamin D deficiency among hijab-wearing Muslim women are just some of the imaginative assignments demonstrated. Student-generated Digital Media in Science Education illuminates innovative ways to engage science learners with science content using contemporary digital technologies. It is a must-read text for all educators keen to effectively convey the excitement and wonder of science in the 21st century.

Download or read book Understanding Interactive Digital Narrative written by Hartmut Koenitz and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-04-17 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This remarkably clearly written and timely critical evaluation of core issues in the study and application of interactive digital narrative (IDN) untangles the range of theories and arguments that have developed around IDN over the past three decades. Looking back over the past 30 years of theorizing around interactivity, storytelling, and the digital across the fields of game design/game studies, media studies, and narratology, as well as interactive documentary and other emerging forms, this text offers important and insightful correctives to common misunderstandings that pervade the field. This book also changes the perspective on IDN by introducing a comprehensive conceptual framework influenced by cybernetics and cognitive narratology, addressing limitations of perspectives originally developed for legacy media forms. Applying its framework, the book analyzes successful works and lays out concrete design advice, providing instructors, students, and practitioners with a more precise and specific understanding of IDN. This will be essential reading for courses in interactive narrative, interactive storytelling, and game writing, as well as digital media more generally.

Download or read book Digital Storytelling in Health and Social Policy written by Nicole Matthews and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-04-21 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As digital life stories continue to assume more and more significance across a range of institutions, so too does their potential to bring into focus once marginalised and neglected voices. Breaking new ground by reframing multimedia life stories as a resource for education, public health, and policy, this book challenges policymakers, professionals, and researchers to reimagine how they find out about and respond to people’s daily lives and experiences of health, disability, and well-being. The book develops theoretical, methodological, and practical resources for listening to digital stories through a series of carefully selected international case studies, from dementia care education to campaigns in the UN to ban cluster munitions. The case studies explore and illuminate different ways that digital stories have – and have not – been listened to in the past. The authors expose the great potential as well as the complexity of using powerful personal stories in practice. Together, the case studies highlight that processes of listening to, learning from, and making use of digital stories involve unavoidable processes of reinterpretation, recontextualisation, and translation which have significant ethical and political implications for storytellers, listeners, and society. In mapping and theorising the movement of stories into new contexts of policy and practice, the book offers a critical lens on the widely celebrated democratising potential of digital storytelling and its capacity to amplify marginalised voices. Digital Storytelling in Health and Social Policy develops an authoritative and original re-conceptualisation of digital life stories and their use for social justice ends, and will be important reading for researchers and practitioners from a range of backgrounds, including social policy, digital media, communication, education, disability, and public health.

Book excerpt: Editor Biography: Jim Prentzas received the diploma degree in computer engineering and informatics and the MSc and PhD degrees from the Department of Computer Engineering and Informatics, University of Patras, Greece, in 1997, 2001, and 2003, respectively. He is currently an associate professor in the Department of Education Sciences in Early Childhood, School of Education Sciences, Democritus University of Thrace, Greece. His main research interests include artificial intelligence, e-learning and Web applications. He has published more than 70 papers in international journals, edited volumes, and proceedings of conferences and workshops. He has also co-edited two volumes published by an international publisher. He has participated in a number of National and European research projects. Book Description: This book is an edited collection of chapters regarding the integration of digital stories in the classroom, focusing on early childhood and primary education. Storytelling has always been an effective way of teaching all ranges of subjects at all educational levels, especially in early childhood and primary education. Digital storytelling combines the advantages of storytelling and digital tools. Digital stories attract the interest of students and provide them with motives to take part in learning activities in collaboration with their classmates and teachers. They have become a popular resource of Information and Communications Technology (ICT). Digital stories can be a valuable tool to educators. However, as is the case with many ICT resources, teachers need practical ideas about how to integrate them in teaching and learning. This book covers a gap in the international bibliography regarding digital storytelling. It discusses teaching scenarios that exploit digital stories in a wide range of subjects in early childhood and primary education. Subjects covered in teaching scenarios discussed in this book include language, time concepts, music, poetry, social tolerance in multicultural societies, mathematics, environmental issues, foreign language learning, healthy nutrition, mythology and geography. Such a diversity of issues concerning integration of digital stories in early childhood and primary education has not been dealt with in other published books until now. The discussed teaching scenarios involve two- and three-dimensional digital stories implemented with the visual programming tools Scratch and Alice. Scratch is implemented by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and enables the creation of two-dimensional multimedia applications. Alice is implemented by Carnegie Mellon and enables the creation of three-dimensional multimedia applications. Both of these tools are available at no charge and are popular in education throughout the world. The created digital stories have been combined with self-assessment e-activities created with JClic to provide further advantages to students. JClic is a free software tool implemented in Spain that enables the creation of interactive assessment activities addressed to early childhood and elementary education. The book is organized into three main parts and consists of ten chapters. The first part consists of two chapters discussing general background issues concerning storytelling, ICT and digital storytelling in education. The second part consists of four chapters discussing teaching scenarios involving early childhood education. The third part consists of four chapters discussing teaching scenarios regarding primary education. Target Audience: *Early childhood teachers, school teachers as well as academic and teaching staff members of Universities that would like to integrate digital stories in learning and teaching, *Undergraduate/postgraduate students as well as academic and teaching staff members of University Departments educating pre-service and in-service teachers, *Undergraduate/postgraduate students as well as academic and teaching staff members of Computing Departments, *Researchers working in the field of education, educational technology, digital storytelling, multimedia and computing education, *Programmers and researchers developing tools concerning digital storytelling, multimedia and computing education, *Computer Science school teachers who are interested in: (a) teaching students how to create interdisciplinary multimedia applications while learning programming concepts and (b) collaborating with teachers teaching other fields.

Download or read book The Power of Storytelling written by Amy Halter and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Digital storytelling is an emergent method in health promotion work for addressing health inequities through combining technology with the voices of members of vulnerable, often underrepresented populations. The Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center (FHCRC) has combined efforts with Seattle community organizations to spread the reach of the digital storytelling project to the Yakima Valley. This is an evaluative study of the effectiveness of the digital storytelling process in the Yakima Valley. Following the creation of a number of digital stories, we collected one-on-one interviews to understand the impact of creating a digital story, and convened focus groups to better comprehend the power of watching a digital story.The FHCRC collaborated with Creative Narrations, an organization that specializes in multimedia support for nonprofit organizations. Creative Narrations conducted a "Train-the-Trainer" workshop to train FHCRC community health workers who in turn conducted three community workshops in the Yakima Valley region. A total of eighteen digital stories were created through these workshops, nine of which were created during the Train-theTrainer workshop and nine others through subsequent community workshops. Recruitment was primarily through the snowball effect of targeted community outreach with flyers and word-of-mouth. Later we collected one-on-interviews (n=11) with participants of the digital story training workshops to evaluate the experience of creating a story. We also conducted focus groups (n=4) with groups who watched the digital stories in order to learn about the impact of viewing the digital stories of others. We reviewed and coded transcriptions from one-on-one interviews and focus groups using Atlas.ti. Overall, participants found the digital story experience to be positive and beneficial for improving health and engaging others within their community. The common themes in the data demonstrate that storytelling is a uniquely valuable tool in health promotion work, and that there are healing benefits inherent to sharing personal stories of overcoming or managing health issues. As a community engagement tool, digital stories also provide a structure for disseminating health education and fostering relationships for further advocacy and health promotion programming. The findings of this study support other literature that shows the many benefits of digital stories in health promotion work. For storytellers, it provides a healing outlet to critically reflect on a difficult experience and find support and connection within one's own community. For story viewers, digital stories are far more impactful than other forms of health education materials that may not be culturally appropriate or accessible to the members of this population. Furthermore, the engagement process of building capacity and collaborating within a community is an important way for community organizations to foster relationships within the community. Many of our participants indicated that they would be very happy to continue digital storytelling work with Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center.
