Goals
We look forward in Workshop #2 making connections to build a lifetime of encouragement and support for one another.

2. Create a digital storytelling learning activity to use with your students in different content areas.
3. Be a resource to another colleague by sharing with them a digital tool, a resource, a learning activity, or an assessment strategy you learned about at today’s workshop.
Digital Storytelling
Storytelling
What is it? Digital storytelling is the practice of combining narrative with digital content, including images, sound, and video, to create a short movie, typically with a strong emotional component. Check out this example of Following Jesus on Twitter.
Flipgrid!
The idea behind Flipgrid is to use video to create an open platform of discussion and learning that doesn’t require a physical classroom to get everyone involved. That makes Flipgrid an ideal remote learning tool as well as a powerful homework based application for students to use with each other.
Create a Flipgride video where you tell the story of where you grew up! (ed08b02c)
Paper Slide Storytelling
Paper Slide Videos are a quick way to do a one-take recording of students teaching information. Use your iPad or iPhone in video mode and slide the prepared papers in one at a time as you talk about each, telling the story of what you learned or wrote.
Create a paper slide video by yourself or with a partner!
Stop Motion Animation
Stop motion animation is a film making technique that makes inanimate objects appear to move on their own.
Ideas for Use with Stopmotion
Choose Your Own Adventure
Your students can make their own “Choose Your Own Adventure” stories!
Create a stop motion story or a “choose your own adventure” story by yourself or with a partner!
