A Journey Through Israel and Jordan

Petra: In front of the famous Treasury building in the lost city of Petra

Have you been on an overseas holiday recently but can hardly remember a thing about it? Well, one technique to remember stories from your holidays about the things you did or places you visited is to capture your holiday in a digital story.

Digital storytelling refers to a short form of digital film-making that allows everyday people to share aspects of their life story. It’s easy to create and only basic programs are needed to create the story. To find out how to make your own digital story www.techsoup.org.

My Suburban News Editor, Nicholas O’Sullivan met with adventurer Maureen Harrison who has recently traveled to Israel and Jordan. Ms Harrison has served in short-term mission trips and been on several tours while visiting the eastern nations.

A creative non-fiction digital story was produced to display Ms Harrison’s visit to Israel and Jordan in August. The story sets the scene up by talking about the thousands of real-life stories about wars, kings, great leaders and people that have been passed on to many around the globe.
The journey starts at the Ancient Port of Joppa, Israel’s primary port in the Old Testament times and goes to Beersheba and even the Garden of Gethsemane.

Watch the video and start getting ideas on what digital stories you can start creating, digital stories aren’t limited to just holidays, so get creative!
