One of the very useful things I learned about how to search for resources on digital storytelling is using the databases. Formerly, I just sticked to Google and Yahoo as my search engines. After doing the assignments for this course, I started to use ERIC, Questia, Komix and others to enlarge my searches for research articles on digital storytelling. A helpful tip is to use double quotation mark, plus and mimus and signs for descriptors. This did me a great favor in hunting for good papers for my literature reviews on digital storytelling. I also came to know many good journals in the field of education, psychology and technology with online resources. The most beneficial thing is I recognize that UH library is a first-class one in this aspect.
Searching for other types of information on digital storytelling offers great benefits too. I found dozens of web sites, blogs, wiki, podcasts with interesting contents for using and teaching with DS. There was amazing findings like the Search Me site, which displays visual presentation of web sites related to the theme in search. I also learned a great deal from my classmates. Each of us contributed something really valuable to the course.
