Vision- No matter how many, or how few, technological devices a teacher has at their disposal, they can help the students in their class complete a digital storytelling project. Mission-Help teachers develop a set of questions that drive the storytelling process whether the students are enrolled in EL, special education, or gifted components, have technology skills or not, etc. With these questions the teachers will be able to guide the students as they develop the process that helps them to gather and organize the outline for their story, create a framework that indicates the type of technology they will employ to tell their story, and the type of individual or group dynamics necessary to complete their individual projects. Outcome-Every student will be empowered to tell his or her own story, whatever that may be.

Discussion with the participants:
