What is Digital Storytelling?
The ancient art of storytelling has recently gained new life through an unlikely partner: technology. Digital storytelling harnesses the power of digital tools to allow people to tell and archive important stories in exciting new ways.

Digital storytelling uses the available tools of the computer and Internet, and morphs it with words and narration, with the final outcome being an interesting multi-media mix of images and voice. We have used digital stories to enhance the quality of our supervisory learning circles. We have incorporated the voices of young people, child welfare workers and supervisors to highlight critical practice issues. The stories are told from personal points of view and reflect issues of permanency and preparation for adulthood services, supports and opportunities. We have made twenty digital stories with our project partners in New York City and Oregon.

Here are some of the New York Stories. If you are interested in obtaining DVD’s of all the stories, please contact Joan Morse at 212-452-7480 or jmorse@hunter.cuny.edu
