Digital storytelling!

Hello everyone
I'm back again this time to share about the lady I was referring to in my last post.Yes,I'm talking about Bernajean Porter.Barbara and I had the fortune of going to 2 of her workshops.Fortunate because we won some goodies . Kidding ! Both the workshops were very enriching .
A brief summary of her presentation -

Storytelling is an ancient art and has an extraordinary effect on people.This effect can be enhanced when the stories are told meaningfully to the world community through the web. Digital Storytelling is the practice of  weaving stories using  a mixture of computer-based tool such as graphics,music,sound and images.
Digital Storytelling by students provides a strong foundation in many different types of literacies such as information literacy, visual literacy, technology literacy, and media literacy.It is fun ,exciting and inspiring and evidence has shown that it contributes to deep learning.

I'm looking forward to engage and energize all my students to be active participants in our exciting learning community.
That's all for now.See you soon.
