Digital Storytelling: If You’ve Ever Wondered “What’s That?” or “How to?” This is It!
I stumbled upon this AMAZING presentation second hand, but it’s worthy of sharing with the education world.

If you ever wondered how to get students to be responsible for their OWN learning, then this is it. Big props to Nick Cusumano (@edtech4theater) and Laura Gilchrist (@lauragilchrist4) This Google presentation is. . .just WOW! Thanks for making it shareable. Teacher who share ROCK!
