Integrating Storytelling into Real Life

Two days down, two to go!

I have really enjoyed watching all of you explore and create for the last two sessions. I am looking forward to seeing more of your projects take shape today.

I would like to take a bit of a turn here, though. There is a link over to the side that lists the resources that I have put up (so far!) about digital storytelling. I would like you to spend some time today exploring some of the sites, particularly the ones that relate to classroom implementation.

In the lower right corner of this window is a spot that reads Comments. Sometime before the end of the day today, I want you to click on this and spend a few minutes writing your thoughts about digital storytelling back at your school. Do you think it will work? Do you see benefits? Are there issues you'll need to work around to make it happen?

For those of you working on this for credit, you can use these comments as a starting point for your paper. Two birds with one stone!

Welcome to Digital Storytelling!

Thank you for joining me for this course. I have been interested in storytelling and with computers for almost thirty years, and I am really looking forward to exploring this topic with all of you.

This web page will serve as a place for daily reflection on what we are covering and what you are doing. It will also be where I post online resources for you to explore and find additional help for your projects, with more to come as the week goes by.
