If you are interested in booking me (Wesley Fryer) for a presentation or workshop (either face-to-face or over video) please visit my Speaking page on www.speedofcreativity.org/speaking.

 

Update 25 August 2010:

In 2010 I am transitioning to the website wiki.wesfryer.com for my handout and presentation/workshop links. I'm not taking content here on PBworks offline, but I have added this "update header" to all my pages as well as adding direct links to more updated versions of these pages as I mirror them / create them on wiki.wesfryer.com. There are 146 pages here on teachdigital.pbworks.com. - You can browse these in page view in addition to using the four category links provided on the homepage. Note this wiki was previously mapped to "handouts.wesfryer.com" but that domain mapping is no longer available.

 

Stay updated on my latest posts by following me on Twitter, my blog ("Moving at the Speed of Creativity") and Facebook.

Digital Storytelling on a Shoestring

 
Digital storytelling is applicable to learners of all ages, in all content areas. In this session we will view different examples of digital storytelling across the curriculum, and explore free tools which are available to get started creating and publishing digital stories on your classroom website. Digital stories can take many forms. In the context of this session, digital stories which include digital images/photographs and audio narration will be explored, using the website VoiceThread. Options for creating digital stories in software programs like PhotoStory3 and iMovie will also be addressed.
 

Objectives:

The participant will:
  • explore and understand different uses for digital storytelling (with still images/photos and audio narration) in the classroom
  • learn about the website VoiceThread (which offers free acounts for educators as well as a commercial ed.voicethread.com version with individual student accounts) and how it can be used for collaborative digital storytelling projects
  • learn about other types of audio and video equipment helpful for digital storytelling
  • learn how other classroom teachers have and are using digital storytelling
  • learn where to access tutorials and additional resources helpful for classroom digital storytelling with VoiceThread and other tools
 
This session was shared on June 3, 2009, at the Oklahoma City Public Schools Tech Day. A Ustream archive of the presentation is available.
