Digital Storytelling in the 21st Century

Last week I had the opportunity to present at my district's Fall Focus. It was a great professional learning conference for our teachers. I decided to present on digital storytelling.

Why Digital Storytelling?
The world is full of stories. Digital storytelling allows us the chance to tell our story in a creative manner. The images in our digital stories are impactful and help the audience remember the story. 

Digital Tools
There are many tools to use and the key is to find the right tool for you and your story. When deciding on a tool to use in your digital story, evaluate the devices you have available to you as well as how you want to convey your message. A few of my favorite tools are Adobe Spark, Powtoon and YouTube. This is also a great time to discuss digital citizenship with your students. 

Here is how we explored digital storytelling at Fall Focus.
