Digital Storytelling

This two-day workshop will introduce participants to digital storytelling and its role in supporting deep, meaningful learning in education and practice. Digital stories encourage creativity, engagement, and commitment to learning through the creation of video narratives that combine recorded voice, still and moving images, narration, and music or other sounds. This workshop will introduce approaches to designing assignments that focus on the creation of digital stories. The course also provides a hands-on opportunity for participants to create their own digital stories. The workshop covers the fundamentals and outlines the framework for creating a digital story with a simple script and a few images. Over the workshops, we will cover the following topics.  An opportunity will be provided to try out the method and build your own project.

Registration is required for both days!
