Our First Project

Aloha gang,

Our first project will be a digital story. Iʻll have the details for you in class, but first I want to share the Center for Digital Storytelling website with you. Click on the "watch stories" tab. There are so many samples of what you can do. I was especially interested in the stories categorized as "family" "identity" and "place." Start thinking about what story you want to tell.

Here are links to other examples of digital stories.
