Comments on: Superb lego stopmotion: “The Good Samaritan” http://www.speedofcreativity.org/2006/06/04/superb-lego-stopmotion-the-good-samaritan/ Weblog of Wesley Fryer Fri, 10 Feb 2012 00:55:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Pursuit of Glory » Blog Archive » Digital Learning Exercise http://www.speedofcreativity.org/2006/06/04/superb-lego-stopmotion-the-good-samaritan/comment-page-1/#comment-6716 Pursuit of Glory » Blog Archive » Digital Learning Exercise Mon, 10 Jul 2006 15:43:20 +0000 http://www.speedofcreativity.org/?p=1053#comment-6716 [...] Wes Fryer, often talks about digital story telling but today he discussed it in terms of the church. I could see something like this creating commotion in just about any church if we tried to integrate it into the SS curriculum. That is unfortunate, as Wes points out this is simply telling a story. Telling a story in a format that is very comfortable to this generation of children. I would like to see things like this become the 21st century craft project for SS classes. Instead of making picture frames (not that there is anything wrong with that), I see this as a better use of time in most situations. I am starting a summer program and the wheels are turning…. Stay tuned for what comes out of that. [...] [...] Wes Fryer, often talks about digital story telling but today he discussed it in terms of the church.

David Jakes also has <a href="http://www.jakesonline.org/storytelling.htm" rel="nofollow">great resources to check out</a> on digital storytelling! If you didn't link to Dean's movie about "Be a Dad" above, be sure to check that out. Our church may use that during our upcoming Father's Day service, with generous permission from Dean. If I do develop a CDS curriculum in more depth, I'll definitely blog about it here! :-) Chris: I think a lot of the digital storytelling resources and curriculum you see out there can be repurposed for a church context.

I linked it and your post to my site. I am greatly encouraged by this post. As a Children's Pastor/Director I use a lot of technology at church, but I have never thought about putting it in the hands of my children for spiritual growth. This post really made me think, why not? It would be great to see a computer in each SS class and projects like Joel's movie become the modern day SS craft project. I am very interested in developing a church curriculum for digital storytelling. If you ever get geared back up on a project like this let me know. You would have an audience of at least one! I am currently gearing up for a Wednesday morning summer program and I think I have figured out the direction I want to go. Thanks as always for sharing. Wes,

As far as Christian digital storytelling, I just did a workshop for a church in Toronto and although there were only 7 attendees, it was very well received. I've been creating a number of my own videos we've used in our church including <a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1121230196957952537" rel="nofollow">this one</a> which I created last year for Father's Day. I'm not seeing the response to others taking up the mantle as much as I'd like. Also check out Joel’s science project on defining stop motion
