Digital Storytelling is approriate for Grades K-12 ( and beyond)

My fourth and fifth graders may never say so, but the Place Project was all about storytelling. At the beginning of the school year, students answered a survey about writing that asked, "Are you a writer?" Sixty percent responded yes. After the Place Project, they responded to the same survey. "Are you a writer?" Ninety-nine percent said yes. Nothing is foolproof, but I have yet to find anything as motivating and influential on students' self-expression as helping them tell stories about an important place. The added dimension of video provided a meeting place for these students and their creativity. by Tom Banaszewski • Educator/Multimedia Author, Maria Hastings School, Lexington, MA
