Abstract:

How can students get hooked on learning? Through the use of digital storytelling . . . learning can come alive for even non-readers; develop students’ higher order skills and creativity; span different content areas; blend writing, technology and emotion to create a meaningful learning experience; and empower learners with diverse backgrounds, characteristics and abilities. We’ll discuss the storytelling process, tech tools to use at all grade levels, and provide examples. With the use of free or low cost technology tools, a teacher or student need only be limited by his or her imagination. A link to a list of our materials, instructions, and resources will be provided.
