Goals of Workshop
Overview of Digital Storytelling and benefits of it in the classroom
Provide you with a number of storytelling tools that you can use to improve student learning
Give you some time to explore these tools and identify ways to use them
“Storytelling, no matter in what form and created in whatever media is a powerful tool to transmit knowledge, culture, perspectives
and points of view”
“Story is the vehicle we use to make sense of our lives in a world
that defies logic.”
-Jim Trelease
Our species think in metaphors and learn through
stories
-Mary Catherine Bateson
Connect on an emotional level with people and events
and connect them to experiences in our
own lives
Stories allow us to communicate our perspective and perception
Collaborate through remixing
and remakes of
