Explore and create: Deep-dive Creation lab 
Preregistration Required
The purpose of this session is to help educators bring mathematics to life using digital picture books and media--sometimes, mathematics instruction can focus solely on practice problems, written assessments, and tests. There's an entire world of mathematics that can be explored with technology, so let's explore it! When you break out of practice problems, written assessments, and tests, you can see how you can utilize digital storytelling in the math classroom. Technology intervention will be used with platforms like Microsoft Flip, YouTube, Microsoft Word, Microsoft PowerPoint, and Presenter Coach in PowerPoint. Instructional models employed include interactive presentations, demonstrations, and Q&A.
First, welcome and introductions will occur. This will take five minutes. Then, following five minutes will be reserved for explaining what digital storytelling is and the benefits of digital storytelling in the classroom. After that, the presenter will share strategies working with grades PK-5 and how using digital picture books and media to story tell directly benefits students regarding mathematics. This will take 20 minutes. This is more lecture based but will have opportunities for peer interaction regarding lesson application and strategy suggestions. The following 40 minutes of the time will be spent as a peer-to-peer interaction workshop, where educators will work either in partners or in small groups on modifying pre-existing or future lessons to incorporate these technologies with the purpose of making the lesson more inclusive and equitable for students. The last 15-20 minutes will be reserved for questions/comments regarding the session or the session topic and resource sharing.
