peer – EDUC 342: Child Development & New Technologies https://ed342.gse.stanford.edu Sat, 06 Feb 2016 07:10:32 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.6.1 Week 6: Adults’ role in guiding storytelling https://ed342.gse.stanford.edu/week-6-adults-role-in-guiding-storytelling/ https://ed342.gse.stanford.edu/week-6-adults-role-in-guiding-storytelling/#respond Sat, 06 Feb 2016 07:10:32 +0000 http://ed342.gse.stanford.edu/?p=1419 Both articles mentioned the importance of peers in storytelling, both as co-creators and as audience. I was wondering what’s the role of adults, including parents and teachers, in guiding and teaching storytelling. It seems to me that storytelling happens so naturally that kids don’t need much guidance – but how might we design interventions can help them get more out of their storytelling process?

For example, by having kids and adults create stories together, they may have much fun and form a stronger bond with each other. In the storytelling class I’m currently taking, we have an organizing question, fun activities, and a design challenge for each class. I also think having some kind of structure that’s external to the storytelling process its might be helpful.
