Session description

The power of storytelling continues to evolve with the tools used and the messages they carry. Students can create mirrors, windows and doors by telling their stories in ways that build connections and create empathy. Educators will explore resources, tools and ideas that promote storytelling and digital citizenship.

Purpose & objective

Our purpose is to inspire students to become empathetic storytellers. By exposing them to a variety of tools that allow them to produce their own stories and to create meaningful thoughtful media. Often in education the focus remains on the consumption of media and not the production. We challenge educators to change the dialogue. Giving students the power to create memoirs, documentaries, podcasts, and GIFs to tell their stories and make connections with their world. Student examples will be shared with participants and will be given time to explore Keynote, iMovie, Camera, and Garage to tell their own stories.
