Digital Stories & Blog
What’s all this about digital stories? Well one way to find out is to watch some and read the blog posts that accompany them!
Check out our growing collection of Digital Stories created by students and staff at Durham University and from other HE and educational context who have participated in Digital Storytelling Workshops on one of the many projects that you can read about on this site.
Digital Stories of course speak for themselves all they require is the audience to watch them and reflect on their meaning. Sometimes, our digital storytellers will also accompany their stories with a blog post, podcast or other media that gives you more insight into the process of creating a digital story, reflecting on their story post-event. Digital Stories are varied. What they all share is that they present a unique glimpse into a storyteller’s world. They invite us to share and learn something about the storyteller’s experiences, their subject matter, ‘their story’, and in so doing, they ultimately invite us to reflect back on our own selves. We hope you enjoy the stories and that for some of you, that they inspire you to come and create your own with us and join our tribe of digital storytellers!
