Digital Story Workshop
Mission:
"Children are constantly making meaning out of their imaginative play, especially between the ages of 3 and 8. Providing an opportunity to make a ""movie"" out of these imaginative worlds appeals to the center of children’s lives, validating their play and empowering them to become media makers. The goals of Digital Story Workshop are: to empower young children by highlighting their own imaginative play, to facilitate meaningful artistic collaborations between adults and children,to contribute meaningful curricular material to classrooms,
to connect children from different neighborhoods, cities and countries to each other, to provide exciting and creative media that complements the educational goals and creative whimsy of children's television but that takes the production process to a much deeper level for the child."
