After perusing the U of Houston Digital Story Website, I am thoroughly impressed. The website is very easy to explore, with different tabs to differentiate between different resources and examples. Different tabs include: About Digital Storytelling, Example Stories, DS software, How to, Educational materials, DS projects, and More. All of the information for how to make a great, informational digital story is there!
I really loved that they had sample Digital Stories. One that I watched was a made by a woman that studied in Singapore as a child and did graduate work in the US. She compared teaching and discipline styles used in both societies. To my surprise, Singapore has an extremely strict educational system with harsh discipline. Competitiveness is extremely important in their society. BUT they produce extremely talented and intelligent individuals who are prepped and ready for the work world. It was a very interesting story.
