Bits and Pixels: Preserving Culture through Digital Storytelling
What this project is really about
The project invites students to document their cultural heritage using the art form of digital storytelling. Students will create a podcast/video/interactive article that explores a part of their cultural identity. The theme of their cultural focus may be food, architecture, clothing, or festivals. Once students pick their cultural theme, they will use digital media to express and preserve this part of their cultural identity. The final podcast/video/article should feature a mix of text, images, videos, and interactive elements, such as timelines or maps, to tell stories about cultural heritage, migration, and community experiences. The readers/viewers should be able to engage with the content in a dynamic way, choosing different paths or perspectives within the story. This project aims to equip students with new media and digital tools for storytelling building their creativity and communication skills.
What you'll walk away knowing how to do
