While taking this course on digital storyelling, I attended another one on the theory of instructunal technology. This gave me an opportunity to do more research on digital storytelling (because I chose to write on digital storytelling as a versatile learning tool that integrates technology into the classroom so nicely for the theory course).
I didn't know that digital storytelling has drawn so much attention and critiquing from different psychological and learning perspectives. My background is linguistics and literature. Entering the field of technology (thoug it is not technology for techies) is a big challenge to somebody who has been familiar with only text like me. So it was such a nice surprise to find that sociocultural theory is brought in like a nice tool to analyze the conceptual framework and practice of digital storytelling. It was fascinating to see how Bakhtin, Vygotsky or Bruner are cited as influential theorists for studying the narrative in digital storytelling.
After reading my first literature review on DS, my professor of the theory course said that this would be a useful assignment if I choose digital storytelling for my dissertation. This is too early to say, but I really feel interested in this suggestion.
