Digital Storytelling Center History of the Center In 2004,
English Instructors Joyce Steelman and Kay Gregory co-founded
The Digital Storytelling Center to support a project that would
build communication skills, technology skills, and critical
thinking skills in the English classroom. Since that time, they
have successfully led hundreds of students through the digital
storytelling process. The digital storytelling project became
one of the Quality Enhancement Projects for SACS accreditation.
Steelman and Gregory have made presentations at several state,
regional, national, and international conferences. In addition,
they have conducted training workshops for other educators,
including one for CVCC faculty and staff in spring of 2006. Over
the years Steelman and Gregory have used digital storytelling in
several courses in the English curriculum including English 090,
English 111, English 113, English 114, and English 231. Digital
storytelling has emerged as a powerful teaching and learning
