Digital Storytelling: Alignment to Educational Standards
This rubric was developed for the 'SET in Our Community' Digital Storytelling Project, part of the National 4‑H SET in Urban Communities initiative funded by the Noyce Foundation. Youth work in teams to identify and research SET issues in their community, document them through film, and deliver presentations to groups of local leaders and decision makers.
