Telling Stories the Digital Way

Thursday, October, 23, 1:00 - 3:00 pm
Workshop: Digital storytelling is a relatively new art form that combines personal narrative and memoir with images and music to create short (3-5 minute) video reflections. Digital stories are used in a multitude of ways, such as creating autobiographical sketches, improving writing, visual and technological literacy, articulating personal philosophies, and documenting historical events. This session will introduce you to the world of digital storytelling. You’ll learn the elements of a digital story and view a variety of examples that illustrate where and how digital storytelling is being used in education and social service agencies. We’ll also explore ideas how to use digital storytelling in your teaching.
This workshop is facilitated by Sandy Lathem.
