This workshop encourages participants to explore digital/multimodal projects. “Hands-on” activities will provide participants with a broad overview of the process as well as hands-on experience with individual steps. The group will participate in group activities that ultimately speak to implementation and classroom applications.
The delivery method for the workshop is designed to be highly interactive. Student-produced examples will be shared, and then participants will be invited to map out their own digital story creation processes (storyboarding, narration development, music selection, etc.) via worksheets, small and large interactions, goal-setting, and question/answer times. Additionally, audience members will be invited to experiment with free, online software often used in story creations and, before leaving, workshop ways in which digital stories may be implemented when they return home. A primary goal is to assure participants of direct application of the practice.
