ISTE 24 - Denver: Storytelling Done Digitally to Showcase Student Voice, Views and Perspectives

This was my first workshop at ISTE. The room was set up in a speed dating style so we could pick and choose from the activities available by rotating around the learning every 20 minutes. These are the sessions I attended.

• Words have power - great narrative mmo ie: making projects
• Movie making - 2 hours to create 
• Synthesise ideas into one project - move to movie in place of static DLO
• Storytelling is a formula

• Content in the narrative framework helps us to connect to the learning
• 3 acts 

• Refer to the Frederick Douglas eg ‘In my time’ - refers to script template pic

                                                          

• Front load - research - thinking maps - frameworksWe video
• Adobe express
• Learn program thru low level content at start of year so programs can be ref back to when cognitive demand grows
• Repeat the process - avoid the one and done
• These activities are great for 'rinse and repeat' - just change the content
