This PowerPoint presentation consists of materials from my most commonly requested keynotes, presentations and workshops about literacy and storytelling - digital, traditional and organizational - in education, community development, business and art. It is also available as a PDF at www.jasonohler.com/pdfs/dst-master.pdf.sit.
I reorder, modify or hide slides depending on the audience and event.
You are welcome to use the materials you find here for non-profit, informal, in-house purposes. Please include the Works Cited references at the end if you do.
My book, Digital Stories in the Classroom: A Telling Experience, should be ready sometime in Fall, 2006.
Comments are always welcome. I can be reached through my website at: www.jasonOhler.com. That’s the story.

From TEACHING AS STORYTELLING by Egan
Digital Storytelling
Kieran Egan’s Binary Opposites1. Identifying importance:
- What is most important about this topic? Why should it matter to children?
- What is affectively engaging about it?
2. Finding binary opposites:
- What powerful binary opposites best catch the importance of the topic?
3. Organizing content into story form:
- What content most dramatically embodies access to the topic?
- What content best articulates the topic into a developing story form?
4. Conclusion:
- What’s best way of resolving dramatic conflict inherent in the binary opposites?
- What degree of mediation of those opposites is appropriate to ask?
5. Evaluation:
- How can one know whether the topic has been understood, its importance grasped and the content learned?

Annette Simmons…
Digital Storytelling
1. Who I am stories – self-disclosure; vulnerability without exploitation…
2. Why am I here stories – what’s in it for you, before what’s in it for them…
3. Vision story – making “invisible visible, at least in their mind’s eye.” “A vision story is an antidote to meaningless frustration.”From THE STORY FACTOR by Annette Simmons
Annette Simmons…6 stories
Digital Storytelling
4. Teaching stories- clarity without buy-in is counter productive…
5. Values in action stories- how many stories can you tell that demonstrate values you profess to hold…
6. I know what you are thinking stories- dispels fears without direct confrontation…

Digital Storytelling
Question: if rules are followed, can students post their work to the web?
Answer: I think it's probably fine for students to post works to a school network if the work limits the amount of others' works to a small portion. Thirty seconds is certainly a good guideline, but it's not really a firm rule. The rule is more like, "keep it as small as you can and still make your point." Thus, in some cases, less than 30 will be needed; in other cases, more. But it really needs to be a thoughtful exercise in coming to the conclusion about what you need to make your point.”
