As our global digital storytelling collaboration continues, we share our thoughts about the first few weeks of class and offer suggestions for script writing and storyboarding as part of the process. We share our thoughts about Envisioning Your Digital Stories during this interactive Zoom call that we prepared and recorded for students in our fully online Digital Storytelling course at SUNY Empire State College. As part of this week’s call, we also discuss the value of collaboration and peer review. At this point in the course, students have introduced themselves through original selfie-videos and are sharing their insights about defining the topic of digital storytelling itself. The concept of metaliteracy is introduced so that students start to see how being a digital storyteller relates to becoming a responsible and creative producer of information.
