Digital storytelling handbook

that you explore and telling your own story. Record a soundscape which represents your project. Split longer audio clips into shorter tasters to share. Make playlists of your work (and others that you find interesting).

Make your research visual: Capture your research and share it as ‘work in progress’ on a blog. Work in pen and paper or use online collaboration tools to explore the topics and themes. You could explore online sharing sites like Slideshare to share any group presentations (then embed posts on your blog).

Video: Try capturing your experiences using apps like Vine or YouTube Capture, or record video to edit later. This could include video diary style posts, interviews or newsdesk style reporting.

Blogging: Can you blog your thoughts? Are others blogging about the events that you attend or the same project topics? You don’t have to write big blogs, try one picture and a few words, 100 word challenges, photo galleries or even poetry. Interact with other bloggers and follow or comment on their work.

Social media: Share project updates. Can you summarise your thoughts in 140 characters or fewer (this can also be done on paper then made digital)? Who else uses social media to discuss similar events and projects? Find related social media accounts and join in the conversations.
