These "Pop Culture" digital stories were created by graduate students at the University of Houston who enrolled in a course on the Educational Uses of Digital Photography and Digital Storytelling that was taught in conjunction with a course on Popular Culture in Education.

In the popular culture course, the students, many of them first year teachers, critically analyze issues and trends regarding popular culture in education and select a specific theme related to their teaching areas. They then create and collect media (such as images, speeches, interviews, music, video clips), write scripts and design and develop digital stories based on their popular culture theme.
