Group+Page+Information

__Group Page Information-__ in this section you will complete your group page by making some group decisions.

Using your discussion forum:

1. Brainstorm ideas for a digital storytelling project. The project will need to be a digital storytelling teacher presentation on a topic to use in a lesson or an example of a digital storytelling project that you would like students to complete. Click [|here]to view examples and [|here.]The page has Art examples but click on the examples tab to view additional subjects.

2. Point of View - is the story coming from a student point of view. Who is the audience? click on point of view link below for additional information.

3. Dramatic Question - What question will be answered through your digital storytelling project? click on dramatic question for additional information.

4. Choice of Tool: You may use PhotoStory or MovieMaker or another tool you are familiar with. My recommendation is to use PhotoStory.It is a free download and you can download it from here. Click here to view a Digital Story in photo story.

5. Discuss the purpose of the story. This is similar to the objective of the lesson.

6. Decide in your group, who should be in charge of keeping wiki page updated. That person needs to update the page. Add the group members names (italicize the one who is responsible for updating). Add grade level and any other information you think is helpful for your group.

7. Group members need to decide who will collect and organize:
 * pictures for digital storytelling project (post to wiki)
 * script for digital storytelling project (post to wiki)
 * tool: Photo Story
 * text
 * narrator
 * music
 * resources
 * putting all the pieces together for final project (post to wiki)
 * final project needs to be saved as a movie and posted to the Digital Storytelling Class Forum with name of project and group members. You may need to upload it to YouTube or Photobucket to get an url.

7. Rubrics - All group members will complete a collaboration rubric on each member in the group.
