| Program Description |
Digital storytelling is applicable to learners of all ages, in all content areas. In this session we will view different examples of digital storytelling across the curriculum, and explore free tools which are available to get started creating and publishing digital stories on your classroom website. Digital stories can take many forms. In the context of this session, digital stories which include digital images/photographs and audio narration will be explored, using the website VoiceThread. Options for creating digital stories in software programs like PhotoStory3 and iMovie will also be addressed. |
|
| Program Format | This videoconference session is a guided exploration and demonstration of both digital storytelling possibilities as well as "nuts and bolts" steps for getting started with image and audio digital storytelling using VoiceThread. If participating teachers have laptops, the wiki curriculum can be used as a portal for the content and techniques addressed in the workshop. | |
