How can participants use digital media for instructional support? Digital Media is the practice of using computer-based tools to tell stories. Participants will use various delivery systems for their digital media to push content to their students. As with traditional storytelling, most digital stories focus on a specific topic and contain a particular point of view. Digital media usually contains some mixture of computer-based images, text, recorded audio narration, video clips and/or music.

Imagine a learning experience, supported and extended by the application of technology, that empowers students to create and contribute, all within the context of what they are expected to know and be able to do in the 21st Century. Imagine that this learning experience provides students with a compelling and competitive voice and enlarges the boundaries of their ability to communicate, potentially to a worldwide audience. That learning experience is digital storytelling.

This workshop will provide participants with the necessary skills to successfully organize, plan, create, and share a wide variety of digital storytelling that incorporates a variety of content aligned to the common core standards. Digital stories can also be used as a 21st century assessment. Teachers can use a DS rubric to evaluate.
