Digital Storytelling
by: Cindy Lane, MSEd <lane.cindy@gmail.com>
Digital storytelling..
is the new Powerpoint allowing you and your students to combine text, images, audio,and video to tell stories. Learn why and how to engage your students in higher levels of thinking as they create movies to show their level of understanding about a curricular concept. Digital Stories can come in a variety of formats (poetry, riddles, documentaries) and can be produced in any content area (math in the real world, a science explanation, or a literary interpretation). Use your PC--Photostory 3 and Windows MovieMaker 2.6 or your MAC --GarageBand and iMovie, to create simple to sophisticated digital stories. We will explore ways to plan, manage, and assess your students to ensure digital storytelling success.
