Education is not a preparation for life; education is life itself.

- John Dewey

It begins with a story. . .

“…what is occurring because of that one simple little thing you have done (teaching digital storytelling) is really rather phenomenal. Remember your question to us at the beginning of the training. “Would it help if I could give you a technology tool that everyone could learn to use very quickly even if you don’t know anything about technology?”

I wondered when you said that how it could be done. Well, you did it and it has proven to be effective many times over with an unbelievable ripple effect as it is touching special education, ESL students, recent immigrants, parents of autistic children, and on and on.”

• Why are we here today?

Change is upon us . . .

• A paradigm shift means fundamentally altering the way things are done.

• The future …belongs to pioneers - the people who are willing to accept high risk and open a new trail to the future. They put the new paradigm into practice.

• Joel Barker• Futurist, Author of Paradigms

• …profound change—a paradigm shift—will one day transform the way you [do business.] – Joel Barker, Paradigm Principles

–Our business is education.

The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education.

– Albert Einstein

We believe in the power of you

• Project-based learning environment– The whole is greater than the sum of the

parts

• Ask others if you do not know how

• Show others when you learn how

• Share what you already know

C.O.P.E. -Mark Standley

• Create Once, Perform Everywhere– CD video, DVD, Web, Cell Phone, TV

• How do you create a powerful story?

• What’s the message in your story?

• How do you refine your message?

• What’s your audience’s reaction?


10

Elements of the story…

• Overall Purpose of the Story • Narrator’s Point of View • A Dramatic Question (or Questions) • Choice of Content • Clarity of Voice • Pacing of the Narrative • Meaningful Soundtrack • Quality of the Images • Economy of the Story Detail • Good Grammar and Language Usage


11

Today we will. . .

• Plan and create a storyboard

• Create or locate and download media elements

• Learn to use Photo Story 3 (Photo Filtre, Goldwave, etc. time permitting.)

• Create a finished product

• Have fun!!!


12

• When students understand what makes great stories for audiences and how storytelling helps audiences learn, they can create messages that shape not only their own learning, but help teach others across the world.

17

To "learn from experience" is to make a backward and forward connection between what we do to things and what we enjoy or suffer from things in consequence. Under such conditions, doing becomes a trying; an experiment with the world to find out what it is like; the undergoing becomes instruction--discovery of the connection of things.

-John Dewey, Democracy and Education, 1916
