Digital Storytelling and Creativity


Presenters: Liz Van Kleeck


In this online learning module, you’ll learn what Digital Storytelling is and why you might want to use storytelling to teach literacy, communication, and media creation skills in your classroom. We’ll look at examples and review a number of hardware and software options for organizing a project, conducting research, identifying digital media resources, and creating a story. Using iMovie®, we’ll go through the process of creating and sharing a story with digital media and narration. Finally, we’ll review options for sharing a digital story and some things to consider when creating a digital storytelling assignment. This module offers several downloadable documents, including details of the storytelling process and of hardware and software options, as well as lists of online resources, and resources used in the creation of the training.
