lisa Introductions
Game plan for the day:
digital storytelling(big ideas, examples), creative process,
creative commons, app demos, creation time, sharing, wrap-up
lisa Briefly introduce concept of Makerspace and how digital storytelling
is essential to transformative learning in a open, creative space
We want to create in this room today a space where we invite you to tinker,
experiment, and “learn by doing” as Sylvia Martinez challenges us to do.
lisa
We define ourselves as humans by the stories we tell
We learn by listening & creating stories
Each of us is a unique collection of stories
We are all different learners with different strengths & needs Dig Storytelling engages reluctant learners
Power of students creating stories about their learning hooks them
into the magic of storytelling: metaphor, characters, symbols.
Focus our work w/students on the learning and not just “getting the
project done”
Kevin: Brief explanation of SAMR Model and how it shapes our integration
of technology for transformative learning
Lisa -
the goal of StoryTelling is to have students create ways of demonstrating their learning. Engaging students to explore / share their learning with creativity ensures deeper learning.
Caveat: It is not about the app

kevin Watch good stories for inspiration and ideas.
kevin Great resource for creativity
Steal like an Artist by Austin Kleon
kevin/lisa When in doubt, document, document, document.
Build model digital stories for students for assignments
to clarify what you want them to me. Become a digital storyteller
by telling digital stories.
Kevin: Freshgrade app for formative assessment, builds
digital portfolio to share with educators and parents.
Kevin: students need to do research, learn how to storyboard the
elements of their story, and have defined roles for digital storytelling
production. The more prep the better the final digital story.
Kevin: focus on the learning in digital storytelling, we are not teaching
“iPad” we are learning about multi-literacies and collaboration skills.
Kevin: This just was posted on Twitter and we can see the highest level
of learning has to do with building, designing, creating and this is at
the heart of digital storytelling.
LISA - teach students to give credit to producers of digital content
Digital Literacy needs to be taught in the womb.
