Hello, everyone! My name is Shirley from Zhejiang Province.I graduate from University of Waikato in New Zealand and my major is Finance. However, what I am really interested in could be the things which can be active and changeable. That can be one of the reasons for me to choose ITE as my major in HKU.
Digital Storytelling can be a new method for storytelling in nowadays. Using many kinds of medias to make up a story which can be more attractive than the traditional way. My previous experience with Digital Storytelling can be that in the last semester, Our group had made a movie with hand-drawing, sounds, and other new technologies to tell a story called " the crow and water". Even the story is simple, but you need to use many new softwares which can be the most difficult part of this job.
I want to learn more new technologies to help me make more attractive digital stories! I think this course will be very interesting and helpful!
Hello, everyone. I'm Molly from Hunan province and I studied broadcast and TV journalism in my college time. Actually, I have made some digital videos for news when I was in university. I'm looking forward to attend this course to fine out the difference of use of media between education and journalism .
As to the storytelling in education, I think it's common method to attract people's attentions especially the kids. As I knew, many children use iPad to watch stories in APPs which I supposed is a good example of storytelling in education, because children can hold the iPad for a whole day.
I expect that I can learn more about theories of ITE such as how to apply videos or mini movies into education, and how to make attractive and thoughtful videos.
Hi guys! My name is Xia Zhenzhen, and you can just call me Janet. I come from Wenzhou, mainland China. I just graduated from Zhejiang Gongshang University majored in Economics in June 2013. I have been an exchange student in the United States for one year and also have interned in the marketing department of Bosch Company for half a year. During my stay in the States and here in Hong Kong, I have volunteered to work in many local schools, because I find myself super passionate about working with kids!
Honestly I have no previous experience in digital storytelling, but I have seen the power of it while I was taking other ITE classes last semester as well as when I was volunteering in those international schools. I hope I could get to know more about digital storytelling in education and share this with my kids in the schools very soon!
Nice to meet you all! I am Amaly. I come from Shen Zhen City which is boarding to Hong Kong. It is so grateful that I may study in this prestigious university and be classmates with you, particularly group members. I hope to study more and be a little useful for the society. However, I have no Digital Storytelling experience in the past so that I am really keen to learn this from this module. I am interested in the forms of audio and video besides texts to tell stories. There would be great number of issues in the course study I suppose so I prepare to overcome difficulties to achieve for as good as possible outcomes by following the sessions. I am sure to learn a lot from both the Dr. teacher and classmates. In addition, I am looking forward to cooperating with team members to do well in group works too.
Hi, I am Carven(LUO CHEN). I just graduated from the University of Queensland last year. I was major in Finance, and after graduation, I traveled around Europe countries on my own. During this trip, I experienced different cultures, which enlighten me about my passion in education. I am keen to explore how education goes in other countries, so I choose ITE to be my studying subject in this year.
Also, I found my interest in digital shooting many years ago when I got my first digital camera. I reckon that digital shooting would be an emerging and helpful method in telling stroies to the audience.
I hope that I can learn more about the histroy and new knowledge regarding digital shooting and stroytelling, so that I can produce interesting and meaningful videos on my own.
