Item Digital discourses: implementing technology within the public speaking classroom(Indiana University, 2013-06) Rowe, Desireé D.; Davis, Andrea M.; Towson University. Department of Mass Communications and Communication StudiesIn this semester-long project, students will be able to utilize various digital tools to meet four outcomes within the Public Speaking classroom. First, we are focused on the student’s ability to demonstrate critical consumption of media technologies. Second, students should use these technologies to narrate and curate current events. Third, technology should not hinder collaboration; rather we are seeking to utilize technology to encourage collaborative efforts that may have been impossible prior to the implementation of the technology. Finally, we place an emphasis on the student’s investment in digital citizenship.Item Partnerships in Meaning-Making: Digital Storytelling as Cultural Sustainability Practice(2016-12-30) Gerhart, Heather; Walker, Thomas; Rathje, Elizabeth; Otañez, Marty; MA in Cultural SustainabilityThis reflective paper summarizes research that explored digital storytelling as a potential method for cultural sustainability practice. The digital storytelling process involves the production in a facilitated workshop setting of short (3-5 minute) personal narratives that include photographs, art or music, and first-person narration. Findings presented in this paper suggest that digital storytelling provides not only a complementary method for engaging community partners, but also offers important insights into issues of power, representation, positionality, and ethical practice. The paper includes recommendations for bringing cultural sustainability principles to digital storytelling practice, as well as models for bringing the digital storytelling approach to the practice of cultural sustainability. The paper concludes by introducing a website concept – the Collaborative Digital Storytelling Hub – as an online resource for connecting digital storytelling practitioners with culture workers and community partners who are interested in exploring digital storytelling applications in their work with communities.
