Digital Life Story Work; Using technology to help young people make sense of their experiences

This innovative guide brings the benefits of life story work-traditionally undertaken with younger children-to young people and adolescents. Engaging with this age group requires fresh and creative ideas to hold their interest. More so, given that young people are glued to their screens!
This book charts new territory by introducing digital life story work. It describes how to use computers, free software, smartphones, and camcorders in a range of contemporary and exciting ways. With an intensely practical approach, it outlines a series of fun and engaging projects on which the practitioner and young person can work together, including photo collages, making soundtreacks, creating cartoons, and filming guided walks, all designed to help young people make sense of their origins and histories.
