Description
Today's students are accustomed to creating, consuming, and sharing information using an array of technologies. Digital storytelling is one method that can be used in the classroom that blends writing, technology, and emotion -- addressing both the cognitive and affective domains. Joining personal narratives with images, video, voice-over, soundtrack, and effects, digital stories demonstrate what learning should look like in the 21st century. Participants are guided through the seven elements of a digital story. Sample digital stories are shared and participants begin writing their own stories. Without a doubt, digital storytelling will bring out the artist, the storyteller, the techie, and the writer in you and your students!
