Digital Storytelling in the Scott County Schools
In November 2002, the Scott County Digital Storytelling Center became a reality through a collaborative venture between the Scott County Schools and the Scott County Public Library. Afternoons and evenings, community members meet at the Scott County Public Library to work on their stories. Students, teachers, and library support staff work together with community members to assist them in telling their stories digitally.
On this website we will share information and resources that we hope will
help others tell their digital stories in ways we and others have started
telling them. This website will eventually take on a life of its own and
you will want to return time and time again to see our new developments
and perhaps to make your own contributions.

In
the Scott County Schools located in Georgetown, Kentucky, writing has
taken a new twist! Teachers and students in grades one through twelve
are taking their writing pieces to new heights by using them as scripts
for digital storytelling.
Short 3-minute videos that include photos, artwork, objects, music, and
the writer's own voice become powerful pieces for communicating with a
diverse audience.
