Fostering the 4 Cs through Digital Storytelling

We all have a story to tell but often have no idea where to start. Digital Storytelling not only equips students with a plethora of reading, writing and thinking skills but also provides them with opportunities to demonstrate their experiences and understanding through creative expression. This workshop will explore the elements of great stories and then harness digital tools to effectively combine text, images, audio and video in compelling and meaningful digital storytelling. This journey will empower both you and your students to tell your stories.
