Standard Workshop

Our goal in the Standard Workshop is to assist participants in designing and producing a three to five minute digital story. Participants craft and record first-person narratives, collect still images, video, and music with which to illustrate their pieces, and are guided through computer tutorials that enable them, with teacher support, to edit their own stories.

Workshops are held as contiguous, three-day intensives (9 am-5 pm each day), involving eight to twelve participants. Participants are given materials prior to the workshop to assist them in preparation, including suggestions about script writing, image selection, and use of video clips.

Continuing Education Credits available through Dominican University of California (two CEUs) or University of Colorado. This workshop also counts towards the requirements for the Digital Storytelling Certificate.
