What is a Digital Project?

Digital research projects involve the transformation of objects and/or material of scholarly

interest, including texts and images, into electronic form for specialized, enhanced, or remote

analysis. A digital project comprises the planning, preparation, and production that goes into

creating electronic publications.

You will use an aspect of your Literature Circles work to drive the creation of your Digital Project.

Options for individual, partner or literature circle work for this project:

1. Create a website.

Websites are easier to create than ever — and more attractive, too.

Websites are highly organizational tools. They help students pull information together in

sub-pages with headings. By organizing information for their readers, they’re also organizing it

and making sense of it for themselves.

Suggested tool: Wix, and Weebly

2. Create a screencast video.

They’re efficient: students can create and view them independently.

Screencast videos can take many forms:

Demonstration on a website

Flipping through presentation slides

Going on a virtual walking tour with Google Maps Street View

... and many, many more.

Suggested tool: Screencastify (Google Chrome) and Screencast-O-Matic (web)

3. Record a successful podcast

Suggested tool:

PodBean or visit your library for additional resources

4. Make a single multimedia webpage i.e. Digital Poster

Creating a website can be pretty comprehensive.

You can add text, links, images, videos and more.

You can create custom images to add to their pages with tools like Google Drawings and Canva

or Adobe Spark. With many of these tools, you can create fancy design features for a digital

project with no coding or web design experience necessary.

Suggested tool: Adobe Spark Page, Canva or Sway
