Place-based storytelling is one theoretical framework for storytelling. On Brenda Dycke's blog I learned about Jerome Burg, a high school teacher who created a project that combines Google Earth with great works of literature. Google lit trips allows the reader to read great literature and go along for the adventure. Burg believes that place-based storytelling will be successful because it puts the reader in the middle of the story and the reader is more apart of the literature.
Brenda Dycke came up with her own theory and use for digital storytelling. She used Google map to create a map of memories and meaning pertaining to her childhood. She not only had a story about each location she had the locations mapped out for viewers to follow. This would be a wonderful tool to use for geography or math. Students could find the distance from location to location.
