Digital Stories in the Classroom
Video art is a modern art genre that primarily examines human existence and experience and deals with commonplace issues, challenges, and wishes. With the use of video as a medium, artists can create works of art that connect identities, experiences, and knowledge through the organization and control of pictures, text, and sound. Given that video is already an important part of their lives in many different ways (such as through television, the internet, video games, and mobile phones), as a technology tool, it has the potential to pique learners’ interests and tie school life to the outside world.
A linear set of events can be transformed into a multidimensional experience by using digital storytelling, which is accessible to students. All of this motivates them to converse, work together, conduct research, and incorporate media into the process. These projects may be made with a variety of tools and apps, and using them all enables students to learn more about history while figuring out the best way to retell it.
The course “Digital stories in the Classroom” will concentrate on the theories and strategies we use to generate engaging stories and videos through practice andis intended for anyone who wants to learn more in-depth information about producing audiovisual content. The art of storytelling can be used in the classroom to increase student learning, encourage creative expression, foster critical thinking, and promote contemplation on societal concerns.
