In looking at ideas and inspiration for our assignment i came across this site about digital storytelling using the poetry of Thomas Hardy. I found this site and the project they devised really inspirational. The way that this school in England used the technology was the result of an excursion to Wessex, the area of the UK where Hardy was writing. I can see a way of incorporating this poets such as Bruce Dawe or good old ‘Banjo’, or an Aboriginal poet, adding images of Australia to the words.

Another way to incorporate digital storytelling into poetry is in the students creation of their own work. Connecting images of the symbolism and poetic device that they use. Also we often ask students to draw the imagery of poetry and with digital storytelling the students can create this using ICT.
