Looking for a way to engage your students? Want another way to get your students to ‘own’ their ePortfolios? Would you like to help your students connect deeply with course material and understand concepts rather than just the facts? Then you may be interested in this session on digital storytelling. Digital stories are one way to get students to ‘teach to learn’ using narrative and reflection. Students produce, orchestrate and remix content to create ‘mini-movies’ that are educational and compelling. Often using software that is free, easy to learn, and user-friendly, students are able to express themselves in new ways. Educators find that students who use digital stories produce work that is reflective, and conceptually rich. In addition, they learn some valuable technical skills in the process. Come to our session for an overview of the impact of digital storytelling. We will show a number of examples and outline some of the tools needed to create (and re-create) digital stories in your own classes.
