The purpose of my Action Research project is to provide empirical evidence that digital storytelling can improve the member training and public outreach programs of the Coast Guard Auxiliary. Qualitative research methods were used to compile the findings. Upon completion of the research, analysis of the data concluded that digital storytelling projects can positively influence member training, by way of improved awareness and better fellowship. It can be deduced that public outreach programs of the Coast Guard Auxiliary can likewise benefit from digital storytelling projects and resultant media elements. To continue this inquiry will require further authorization from higher-ranking Coast Guard Auxiliary officials that see the benefits of research participation to the modernization goals of the organization.
Denise,
I am so excited to see that we are both using Digital Storytelling for similar and different reasons. I have used it as a way to motivate my struggling students to get excited as well as comprehend what they are reading. It is refreshing to see that it also works well with the service world out there. Everyone tells stories, but it is nice when stories can help all ages to excel in what they need to do. Thanks for sharing your action research information with us. I think that was definitely thinking outside the box and I love that! Good luck in wrapping up your year end project.
