Digital Stories with Children: Examining Digital Storytelling as a Pedagogical Process in ECEC
2020
Modern digital technologies have become common in educational settings of all levels. This has made the use of digital storytelling (DST) more applicable in early childhood education and care (ECEC). This paper examines the implementation of DST, aiming to answer the following questions: 1) How to support children’s active participation throughout the DST process in ECEC, and 2) how do 21st century skills manifest in the DST process? The study was conducted between 2017 and 2018, when two cycles of DST projects were implemented in four Finnish ECEC centres as part of a European project. The data consist of interviews with educators (N=15) and children (N=51), as well as documentation of the…
Powstania zapamiętane. Opowieści wspomnieniowe na temat powstań śląskich funkcjonujące w obiegu społecznym
2021
Przedmiotem artykułu jest sposób funkcjonowania w obiegu społecznym pamięci o powstaniach śląskich. Ważną rolę pełnią tu opowieści byłych powstańców, które ze względu na dystans czasowy podlegają folkloryzacji i fabularyzacji (do narracji włączane są wydarzenia późniejsze, związane na przykład z przeżyciami z czasów II wojny światowej). Wspomnienia drukowane są w antologiach, zrealizowano również projekt Filmowa encyklopedia powstań śląskich, gdzie o życiu powstańców opowiadają ich potomkowie. Wiedza o powstaniach popularyzowana jest także przez organizowanie konkursów dla młodzieży, przedstawianie rekonstrukcji historycznych, spotkania i wystawy. Autorka zauważa, że we współczesnych sposob…
Positive corporate communication : the role of positive equity storytelling in non-regulated investor relations
2016
Tutkielmassa perehdyttiin positiivisen yritysviestinnän ja sijoittajatarinankerronnan rooliin vapaaehtoisessa, säätelystä vapaassa sijoittajaviestinnässä ja pohdittiin, löytyykö sijoittajille kohdistetuista vapaaehtoisista esityksistä positiivisen vuorovaikutuksen piirteitä kuten ihmisistä, osaamisesta, kulttuurista, arvoista ja monimuotoisuudesta viestimistä. Tutkielma pyrki selvittämään, missä muodoissa ja missä määrin positiivisuutta valitussa materiaalissa ilmenee. Empiirisessä osiossa analysoitiin OMX Nordic 40 -indeksiin kuuluvien pohjoismaisten yritysten viimeisimpien pääomamarkkinapäivien ja vastaavien sijoittajatapahtumien power point -esityksiä. Hyödyntäen aineistolähtöistä sisäll…
An ACT-R Based Humanoid Social Robot to Manage Storytelling Activities
2020
This paper describes an interactive storytelling system, accessible through the SoftBank robotic platforms NAO and Pepper. The main contribution consists of the interpretation of the story characters by humanoid robots, obtained through the definition of appropriate cognitive models, relying on the ACT-R cognitive architecture. The reasoning processes leading to the story evolution are based on the represented knowledge and the suggestions of the listener in critical points of the story. They are disclosed during the narration, to make clear the dynamics of the story and the feelings of the characters. We analyzed the impact of such externalization of the internal status of the characters t…
Initial support teachers training through Mcdrury & Alterio’s storytelling model storytelling methodology. A research in the laboratories of the spec…
2019
Creating digital stories provides with important opportunities to practice and master a number of specific 21st-century skills, content, and technology standards. Storytelling has been extensively used in children’s education as a valuable and creative tool, however, its use in the higher education process has been less common and this paper proposes that storytelling can be used as an effective reflective tool in higher education. Digital storytelling is essentially the application of technology to this age-old experience of sharing personal narratives and seeking to teach and learn from them. What is different, and what makes these digital stories so potentially powerful, is the availabil…
Multimodal discourse strategies of factuality and subjectivity in educational digital storytelling
2012
As new technologies continue to emerge, students and lecturers are provided with new educational tools. One such tool, which is increasingly used in higher education, is digital storytelling, i.e. multi-media digital narratives. Despite the increasing attention that education and media scholars have paid to digital storytelling, there is scant research examining digital narratives from a discourseanalytic perspective. This paper addresses this gap in the literature and, in line with the belief that individuals make meaning through a range of semiotic devices, including, among others, language, sound, graphics and text, it aims to examine discourse strategies of factuality and subjectivity i…
Relatos digitales un género de expresión personal mediatizada: introducción
2012
This article provides a critical review of some of the most relevant studies on digital storytelling and proposes a genre typology that allows an initial classification of digital storytelling into two main types: educational and social. Digital storytelling is a multimodal emergent genre characterised by its versatility and flexibility which has resulted in a series of subgenres. However, the main premise here is that differentiating between social and educational– although one does not exclude the other– and bearing in mind that most digital stories may lie at the intersection of both, is the most useful way to start labeling the massive production of digital stories available nowadays on…
The Use of Digital Storytelling for ESP in a Technical English Course for Aerospace Engineers.
2012
Digital Storytelling is a powerful pedagogical tool for both students and educators, which started to be used for teaching and learning purposes a few years ago, becoming more and more popular over time. The use of digital storytelling in non-specific language learning contexts has been widely explored, as shown in the literature. However, its use in technical-scientific contexts of English for Specific Purposes (ESP) has not been so widely studied. This paper explores a project of digital storytelling for ESP carried out at the Universitat Politècnica de València, in Spain. The methodology was divided into several stages: completing a pre- and a post-survey, learning about digital storytel…
Texts and Visuals in the Online Aesthetics of Migration: Translation as (Re)narration in the Creative Industries
2018
Texts and visuals in the online aesthetics of migration: Translation as (re)narration in the creative cultural industries Within the context of Computer-mediated communication discourse (Herring 1996; 2011, 2015), this study focuses on the investigation of Internet modalities and genres through which experiences of current migration are transferred from personal stories into online public narratives, also known as “transmedia storytelling” (Jenkins 2006; Jenkins, Ford, Green 2013). The art of telling migrant stories on the web produces acts of translation in terms of (re)statements of migrant lives. This mechanism owns a repository function, which is meant to spread narratives of migration …
'Share your experience'. Digital Storytelling in English for Tourism
2014
The main purpose of this article is to describe the experience achieved when implementing the practical classes of English for Tourism so as to bridge the gap between the professional world of the tourism industry and what students learn at the university. In this article we will first introduce the concept of Digital Storytelling (Lambert (1997), Gregori-Signes (2007-2010), Alcantud-Díaz (2008-2011) and briefly describe some of the projects that have already been developed at the University of Valencia as well as the use of digital stories in the promotion of touristic products. We will then argue that Digital Storytelling can be considered as a productive type of activity which fits the d…
